| [BESTANEWS] All findings on the ISIS attack on Kobanê in which tens of civilians were brutally massacred point at ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's central role in the attack. Kobanê Canton Defense Minister Sex Hesen stated that it was impossible to attack the border gate with vehicles full of explosives from anywhere but Turkey. TENS OF CIVILIANS, PREDOMINANTLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN, WERE MASSACRED ISIS gangs infiltrated into Kobanê from Turkey yesterday and carried out several attacks in and around the city center that claimed the lives of tens of civilians. ISIS gangs blasted a vehicle near Mursitpinar border gate and attacked the villages of Kaniya Kurda and Berxbatan as well as the Hellince road and the government building with bombs, rifles and snipers. 107 civilians were massacred during the attacks and many others were maimed. 'YPG/YPJ RESPONDED STRONGLY' YPG/YPJ forces responded strongly to ISIS attacks and encircled gang groups in Sehid Moro neighborhood, Qada Azadi, Kaniya Kurda and Kobanê high school. YPG/YPJ fighters killed tens of gangs, expulsed all gang members except for the ones in Kobanê high school, and caught 3 gang members alive. AN ATTACK SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 29 ISIS gangs' attack on Kobanê yesterday resembles the one that happened on November 29 in many aspects. Gang members had also crossed into Kobanê from Turkey back then and attacked in 3 different locations. Yesterday's attack began with the kaboom on the border gate and continued in different locations. THE ONLY ROUTE TO USE IN THE BORDER GATE ATTACK: TURKISH SOIL It is certain that the gangs who infiltrated from Turkey carried out the attacks on the border gate and Kaniya Kurda because transportation to these places from another location is geographically impossible. There are dozens of YPG/YPJ checkpoints on the way to the border gate and Kaniya Kurda from within Syria and Rojava, and YPG/YPJ forces prevented previous suicide kaboom attempts before the gangs reached the city center. Cerablus road to the west, Halep road to the south, and the Hellince road to the east of Kobanê are the only roads ISIS gangs could have used for transportation, which are under heavy YPG/YPJ control. Even during the ISIS occupation of Kobanê last December, explosive vehicles were blasted and prevented from reaching Kobanê by YPG/YPJ fighters. ISIS gangs have been aware of these YPG/YPJ preventions and had not tried similar suicide missions since Kobanê resistance. ATTACKS CAME FROM TURKEY The attacks at the border gate came from Turkey and anyone could see this when they watch the video footage of the explosive vehicle entering Kobanê. Gangs who infiltrated in the town from the border gate and Kaniya Kurda had uniforms identical to Turkish military clothes and had shaved their beards in order to pass as Turkish soldiers and avoid detection. In light of all these events, YPG/YPJ's main success has been capturing 3 gang members alive and the information they will give during interrogation will be crucial. Turkey's gun and personnel support to ISIS, witness statements, seized documents, and the details of the last ISIS attack point at Turkey as the center in which this ISIS massacre was planned. ISIS gangs coming from Hellince road wore FSA uniforms, the gangs who attacked the villages nearby had YPG uniforms on them and the gangs coming from Kaniya Kurda wore Turkish military outfits. This method has also been widely used by the Turkish military in counter guerilla activities in Northern Kurdistan. ANADOLU AGENCY'S (AA) JOURNALISM SUCCESS! Another important detail of the attacks is Anadolu Agency's live coverage of the kaboom in the Mursitpinar border gate. This suggests that either AA was informed about the attacks before they took place, or ISIS gangs shared the video footage of the attack with AA. Either possibility points at the complex relations and cooperation between ISIS and the Turkish state, since there is no way for AA to provide live coverage for the attacks that were carried out in great secrecy. |
