The British government said on Thursday it had imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on two Afghan individuals under its Islamic State and Al Qaeda sanctions regime.

It described Maulawi Rajab as a senior leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, and Sultan Aziz Azam as a spokesperson of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
