Jihadists of the Islamic State attack Kurdish forces north Raqqa

[ARA] The radical group of 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....
(ISIS) carried out two car kabooms on a Kurdish security checkpoint in Tel Abyad city north of Syria's Raqqa, Kurdish sources reported on Wednesday.

At least two Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG) were killed and three more maimed in ISIS-led car kabooms on a YPG-held security checkpoint at the southern entrance of Tel Abyad city.

Speaking to ARA News in Tel Abyad, YPG member Habun Osman said: "Subsequent to the terrorist attacks, festivities broke out at the southern entrance of Tel Abyad between our (YPG) forces and ISIS terrorists."

"A group of Lions of Islam tried to infiltrated into the liberated city during the attacks, but our units confronted them and killed at least 10 terrorists, while the rest escaped towards Raqqa city," the source said.

Wednesday's festivities reached Bir Asheq village in the countryside of Tel Abyad, where the YPG fighters took two ISIS hard boyz as hostages.

"The Lions of Islam believe they can regain Tel Abyad, but we want to reassure them that our fighters will continue until liberating the entire Raqqa province," Osman said.
