Kids play with ISIS-planted landmine in Kobani, cause explosion
2015-09-29
[Rudaw ] A land mine set off on Sunday in Bobani, a village near Syria's Kurdish city of Kobani, caused serious injuries to eight children who were playing in the area, Hawar news agency reported.

The eight children were reportedly playing with the mine before it went kaboom!. Five of them were reported at death's door at the hospital.

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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group launched major offenses twice in Kobani, massacring civilians, including women and kiddies. The snuffies were eventually driven out by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) fighters with the support of Peshmerga forces and US-led coalition Arclight airstrikes.

The town is a powerful symbol of Kurdish resistance, with some referring to it as the "Kurdish Stalingrad."

ISIS-planted mines continue to threaten residents travelling back home after the city's liberation.

#2  It's the Islamic equivalent of "Hey kids, go play in the freeway!", except they mean it.

#1  C'mon parents, you should have taught your kids about land mines by now. Unless they're disguised as teddy bears.
