| US-led coalition jets strike Syrian town after IS shelling |
| 2014-10-19 |
| [DAWN] US-led coalition jets struck suspected 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... targets at least twice in the besieged Syrian town of Kobani on Saturday after fierce shelling by the turbans hit the town centre. Shelling continued after the strikes, according to witnesses. Islamic State turbans have been battling Kurdish fighters for a month to take control of the town near the Turkish border, but stepped-up coalition air strikes have helped Kurds fend off the advance. The coalition has been bombing Islamic State targets in Iraq since August and extended the campaign to Syria in September. |
