#2 Two Turkish citizens

ISIS sources have confirmed the YPGs announcement that it had killed more than 25 ISIS fighters. ISIS sources said there were two Turks and many Azeris among the dead. Turkish fighter Abu Ismail [Erdal] from Inegol town and Mustafa from Ankara were killed in the clashes with the YPG. Ismail [Erdal], had come to Syria two months ago.

Target: Rmeilan oil fields

Several Arabic-language Internet sites that carry ISIS news published photos of nine ISIS fighters killed in the clashes. These sites also claim that ISIS is advancing in the Tal Abyad and Kobane areas.

The objective of ISISs attacks is to rupture the links between Kurdish regions of Jazeera, Afrin and Kobane and to seize the oil fields of Rmeilan inside the Jazeera region.

#4 Azerbaijan's Islam split is %85 Shia so are these Azeris, in the ISIS, fighting the Kurds Shia or Sunni.

If Shia then religion can be thrown out and the cause becomes oil and money.
