UNSC to hold terror financing meet

US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew will chair a first-ever summit of the finance ministers of the UN Security Council this month, to discuss combating terror group finances, the Treasury said Friday. There will be a particular focus on the jihadist Islamic State group. The December 17 meeting at the United Nations in New York is expected to adopt a resolution designed to choke off terror groups' sources of finance, the Treasury said in a statement.
