Syrian-Kurdish YPG fighters reinforcing Syria's Manbij - security sources
[DNAINDIA] Syrian-Kurdish YPG fighters appear to be reinforcing the Syrian city of Manbij, captured this month from 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.... , with weapons and personnel, regional security sources told Rooters on Monday. Manbij, on the west bank of the Euphrates River, was captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces alliance, which includes the Kurdish YPG militia, in an offensive backed by the United States. A Syrian rebel commander said on Sunday that ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... -backed rebels aimed to capture the city from Kurdish-allied forces.
