 [AnNahar] Militants stormed the Turkish consulate in the northern Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... on Wednesday and kidnapped 48 people including the head of the diplomatic mission, a Turkish government official said. "48 Turks including the consul, staff members, guards and three children were kidnapped," the official told Agence La Belle France Presse, speaking on condition of anonymity |

| #4 ISIL has also been fighting the Kurds of northeast Syria. Kurds and ISIL are hostiles. The Iraqi Kurds have the military power to take back Mosul |

| #1 Why annoy the Turks? The Turks and the ROCs are two armies it is better to avoid fighting. Are they hoping for sympathy from the Kurds? Speaking of which, what are the Kurds in Iraq doing about this? |
