New Group Of Iraqi Peshmergas Enters Syrian Kurdish Town
[Ynet] A second group of 150 Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga forces has entered the Syrian border town of Kobani from Turkey to replace a first group helping Kurdish forces fight off a siege by 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....
Lion of Islams, peshmerga sources said on Thursday.

"The first group has left Kobani and is en route to the airport right now," one peshmerga source told Rooters, referring to the 150 Iraqi Kurdish forces who arrived in the besieged town in early November.

The second group of peshmergas arrived in Kobani late on Tuesday, the source added.
It's all very confusing, but I think we are meant to conclude that the changing of the guard, first reported over last weekend, is now complete, with the new guys settling in and the old ones heading for home as quickly as their trucks and the Turks will allow.
