Jihadi Fighters on the Offensive in Northern Syria
Activists say jihadi fighters using weapons they recently captured in
neighboring Iraq are battling to take predominantly Kurdish areas in
northern Syria.
Kurdish official Nawaf Khalil says members of the Islamic State group
are trying to capture an area near the Turkish border to link with their
positions east of the country.
He and other activists say Thursday's fighting is concentrating in the region of Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab.
Mustafa Osso, a Turkey-based Kurdish activist who has wide contacts in
northern Syria. says the aim of the offensive is to take the entire
Kobani area.
Osso says those standing against the Islamic State group are mostly
members of the People's Protection Units, the armed wing of the Kurdish
Democratic Union Party.
