#1 Twitter is a very important international communications channel for ISIS. When Twitter began removing ISIS accounts, ISIS responded by announcing executives of Twitter were targets.

Here is communications amongst Islamic terrorists within the past 24 hours:

"We ask #JN. Do u think it is good to bomb in West subways?"

Twitter accounts in the conversation were the following:

@Idib_JN, @JN_Hama, @JnDar3a_2, @JnHalab, @JnHoms, @JN_Dimashq

International Kurdish twitter users happened across this conversation and forwarded the information to the German BKA and the United States FBI.

It appears terrorists in the west are in place, they have their bombs, and they are establishing their targets.

#3 Kobane Target for Coalition Aircraft. Google puts the second cordinates just inside the gate of the Turkish border crossing. Hope google is a little off and not the strike coordinates.

#4 The American Embassy in Turkey is warning Americans to stay out of South East Turkey as intelligence indicates ISIS is targeting a pro-Western, anti_Syrian rebel group location near the Syria/Turkish border for a terror attack.

Word is, the US government has given up on the anti-Assad rebels.

#5 Pershmerga who returned from Kobane said Kobane defenders were about to be overrun by ISIS who held 80% of Kobane at the time. Air strikes were slowing but not stopping the advance. When the Peshmerga arrived in force, ISIS launched an all out attack for 10 hours.

But within 24 hours the tide was turned with the use of the Peshmerga's heavy weapons in the city.

#6 The above image of the air strike coordinates has been traced back to ISIS. They sent that image to terrorists in the Kobane area to warn them of air strikes.

ISIS is/was able to get information on anticipated airstrikes. Turkey (NATO member)?

#7 Germany's first weapons supply has been delivered to the Peshmerga.

#8 Speigel.de is reporting the US launched a Tomahawk recently against ISIS in Raqqa, Syria.

#9 YPG and YPJ offensive strategy in Kobane are advancing slowly to prevent casualties to their own forces. They are still very limited in resources both human and material.

This works only if supply lines are severed. They have guerrillas interdicting supply lines with support from coalition airstrikes up to 60 km outside of Kobane against resupply convoys on key roads.

ISIS are beginning to abandon convoys and are trying to continue resupply men and material via one car at a time.

#10 Ebbomosh: that would imply that the Kurds are running a pretty fair 'guerilla' operation behind the lines. Does that appear to be the case?

#11 Steve,

Yes. The Kurds have said that the war between them and ISIS type organizations has lasted a year and a half in the Kobane area.

Only when the ISIS was able to quickly get their hands on heavy American weapons after over running Iraqi forces did ISIS have the power through out the region to push the Kurds back.

During the year and a half, the Kurds have always been able to move around in the region, in small units behind ISIS lines.

Sometimes they get in trouble, I have video of such situations where a small band of Kurds are sighted, a battle occurs and they are eventually over whelmed, but most of the time they know how to stay out of sight, until they strike.
