Kurdish female fighter’s likely suicide attack in Syria kills Turkish troops
2018-01-30
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A female Kurdish fighter has reportedly carried a suicide kaboom on Ottoman Turkish military forces in Syria, the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 reported on Sunday.

The grenade attack is believed to have killed two Ottoman Turkish soldiers and destroyed an army attack.

The 20-year-old woman was identified as Zuluh Hemo and had fought under the name Avesta Habur, according to the newspaper, citing a statement from her military organization, the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), part of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

"If confirmed, it would be the first case of a suicide kaboom by the Kurds against The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
’s forces in Syria since its ground troops crossed the border earlier this month," the paper reported.

Hemo is believed to have thrown the grenade down the turret of the tank. This had led the independent Syrian Observatory for Human Rights to believe that it was not an intended suicide attack.

In a statement cited by the New York Times, Hemo’s unit referred to her as a heroine.

"The heroine Avesta attacked the tank and blew herself up with the tank." It also called her "a model of free Kurdish women."

#5  If confirmed, it would be the first case of a suicide kaboom by the Kurds ... Hemo is believed to have thrown the grenade down the turret of the tank

That's not suicide kaboom, that's divine wind.

#3  I betcha that with a little subtlety, DJT and Putin could agree on an independent Kurdistan as a useful diplomatic solution to both Turkey and Iran (who seem to be working in concert against the Kurds)

#2  No air cap, no AAA. A probing mission to see what they could get away with.

#1  A major Turkish Military convoy entered Syria over night escorted and guided by Al Qaeda through Idlib towards the front line of Syrian forces. It was halted by Russian fighter jets that dropped bombs 2 km in front of the convoy and then flew over the convoy. At last report, all of the Turkish military vehicles in the large column turned their headlights off and waited for orders in the darkness. All of this was reported with video by Kurdish spotters in the Idlib area.
