US-backed fighters foil ISIS attack east of Tabqa
2017-04-10
[ALMASDARNEWS] The predominantly-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have repelled an attack launched by 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....
on Safsafeh village, located nearly 6 kilometers to the east of Tabqa (Al-Thawrah).

ISIS turbans launched the assault from their stronghold of Tabqa city in a desperate attempt to lift the siege imposed by the Kurdish forces.

the attack ended in fiasco as the US-backed fighters held their positions, killing scores of the jihadists.
