UN council freezes Taylor's funds
Breaking news graphic
The United Nations Security Council has passed a unanimous resolution to freeze the assets of the exiled Liberian leader, Charles Taylor.

It calls on all UN member states to locate and freeze funds owned or controlled by either Mr Taylor, or his wife or son.

Mr Taylor resigned and fled to Nigeria last year after the Liberian capital Monrovia was surrounded by rebels.

He faces war crimes charges at the UN-backed tribunal in Sierra Leone.
