Islamic State Advances Deeper Into Syrian Town Of Kobani
[Ynet] 'They have taken at least 40 percent (of the town),' NGO says as US-led coalition ramps up strikes on Syrian town of Kobani before Lions of Islam attack border crossing with Turkey, tightening noose around Kurdish defenders.

Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 fighters advanced deeper into the Syrian town of Kobani on the Turkish border on Friday, and have taken control of a command center belonging to the Kurdish forces defending the Syrian city of Kobani from invasion, Arab-language Sky News reported. Al Jazeera claimed the forces have also taken the city's jail, located in the center of the city.
