[RUDAW.NET] A front man for Syria's main Kurdish militia says his group's fighters have retaken a neighborhood attacked 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... Lions of Islam in a key northern town. Redur Khalil of the People's Protection Units, or YPG, said Wednesday that Kurdish fighters now fully control the border town of Tal Abyad, after capturing the northeastern neighborhood of Mashhour. IS on Tuesday launched a surprise attack on the town of Tal Abyad, which was recently seized by the YPG, and captured the Mashhour district. Khalil said IS fighters were evicted form the neighborhood, adding that three Lions of Islam were killed and a fourth went kaboom!.
