The UN Security Council Friday urged its members to ramp up their fight against Islamic State jihadists after the Paris attacks, as Europe said it would tighten border checks and Brussels issued its highest terror alert.
Hours after the UN Security Council passed the resolution authorising countries to "take all necessary measures" against IS, gunmen stormed a luxury hotel in Mali's capital, taking more than 100 people hostage in a siege that left at least 27 dead.
