| Iraqi Kurds To Offer Artillery Support, Not Direct Combat, In Kobani |
| 2014-10-27 |
| [Ynet] Iraqi Kurdish forces will not engage in direct combat in the Syrian town of Kobani but are to provide artillery support for fellow Kurds fending off 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.... forces of Evil there, the regional government's front man told Rooters on Sunday. Islamic State fighters have been trying to capture Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, for over a month, pressing their assault despite US-led air strikes on their positions and the deaths of hundreds of their fighters. "Primarily, it will be a back-up support with artillery and other weapons," Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) front man Safeen Dizayee told Rooters. "It will not be combat troops as such, at this point anyway." |
