YPG and Syrian rebel forces retake Bozani from ISIS
2015-07-10
[RUDAW.NET] Kurdish fighters with the YPG, or People's Protection Units, fighting alongside the Syrian rebel group Borkan al-Forat have retaken the Syrian town of Bozani after an intense battle with 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....
, reports Rudaw correspondent Omar Kalo at the scene.

Bozani, also known as Ain Issa, fell to the forces of the Islamic State, or ISIS, on Monday. The YPG and Borkan al- Forat, which translates as Euphrates Volcano, launched a blistering attack on ISIS positions in the south of Gire Spi district and retook the area on Thursday with the help of Arclight airstrikes from the US-led coalition.

According to Rudaw's Kalo, dozens of ISIS murderous Moslems and 10 fighters of the YPG and Borkan al- Forat forces were killed.

Bozani town is located about 80 km southeast of Kobani. The town was originally liberated on June 23 by the YPG and Borkan al- Forat, but ISIS murderous Moslems seized the town again earlier this week.
