Turkey considers the YPG militia a terrorist organization and an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has waged an insurgency against Turkey since 1984. Turkey's military has carried out two incursions into Syria against the YPG militia, both focusing on its presence to the west of the Euphrates River. President Tayyip Erdogan has signaled an impending operation against YPG forces the east of the river, delivering last month what he said was his "final warning" to those he said endangered Turkey's southern border with Syria.

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.
