| [ARA] In collaboration with the Peshmerga forces and rebel fighters of the FSA-linked Burkan al-Furat rebels, the People's Protection Units (YPG) retook villages (administratively linked to Shuyookh town) west of Kobane (Ain al-Arab) after battles with gunnies of the 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.... group (IS/ISIS), Kurdish military sources reported on Monday. "The joint forces (YPG, FSA, and Peshmerga) regained villages near the town of Shuyookh, the main stronghold of gunnies west of Kobane," Saeed Judi, a YPG fighter, told ARA News. Judi emphasized that the joint forces took control of the entire villages of Talik and Darbazin near the town of Shuyookh. "The population of both villages is primarily Arab and Kurd. "All IS command centers in the town of Shuyookh are in the crossfire of the Peshmerga and the YPG fighters," the source told ARA News. Judi also denied some pro-IS websites allegations concerning the infiltration of IS members in the established security box of central Kobane, pointing out that the radical group has been defeated in all fighting fronts. "All these news are rumors the IS hardline group uses as part of a 'psychological war' propaganda," Judi argued. Also on Monday, field sources reported what they described the "liberation of eight new villages" east of Kobane, including Zari, Qartal, Kalti, Darb Hassan, Kochkar, Shish, Bir Habash, and Matin. Meanwhile, ...back at the hanging, Butch continued with his last words, trying not to repeat himself too often...... the sources confirmed that Kurdish-led operations of dismantling mines and bombs continue in other eight villages, including Bir Arab Janubi, Bir Arab Shamali, Baghdik, Khan, Idaniya, Jirn, Zarzuri and Kolt, a distance of more than 40 km eastern the city. Notably, YPG and FSA-linked sources confirmed Sunday that there is no intention for the YPG fighters to enter or stay in the Arab villages and areas, and that the administration of theses areas will be assigned solely to the FSA factions only. |
