[ARA] On Sunday evening, the Kurdish forces of the People's Protection Units (YPG) were able to repel a suicide kaboom planned by Lion of Islam fighters of 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....
group (IS/ISIS) in the village of Tel Khanzir (25 km west of Sere Kaniye "Ras al-Ain") in the province of Hasakah, in northeastern Syria.

Speaking to ARA News on the phone, Orhan Bakok, member of the YPG's Media Centre in Sere Kaniye, said that the YPG fighters were able to repel an IS-led boom-mobile, adding that the car was heading to one of the YPG's strongholds in the fighting front of the village of Tel Khanzir.

"Our units (YPG) targeted the IS-led boom-mobile before reaching its target," he added.

It was not clear how many bombs were in the car.

"A large kaboom took place indicating that the car was loaded with a large amount of kabooms," Bakok said.

Over the past week, the southern and western fronts of Sere Kaniye witnessed sporadic festivities between the Kurdish forces and the IS hardline group following repeated attacks carried out by the group on the village of Tel Khanzir, as well as on the farms in the village of al-Manajir, south of the city of Sere Kaniye.

Notably, Islamist sources reported that IS hard boyz have entered the strategic village of Tel Khanzir, but the Kurdish forces denied the news and released footages online from inside the embattled village proving the opposite.
