militants ADVANCE' . . .
As fierce fighting continues for the Kurdish city of
Kobani near the Turkish-Syrian border, a video was posted online showing the
advance of the jihadists. There are widespread fears the town’s capture may
result in a bloody massacre.
The video was posted online on Friday by a group
connected to ISIS to show militants using rocket propelled grenades and
sledgehammers while advancing inside the besieged city of Kobani.
As of Friday, the jihadists controlled 40 percent of the area.
The two-minute long clip shows the scenes of fight
in the streets, militants changing dispositions and aiming fire. The jihadists
are equipped with different kinds of weapons including tommy-guns and shotguns.
AP reported that the video has been authenticated against known locations and
events by regional experts.
AP cites a Kurdish official as saying that fighting was mainly taking
place in the southern and eastern parts of the city.
Many Kurds in neighboring Turkey took part in
protests appealing to the government to intervene and to let Turkish Kurds
cross the border and participate in defense of the town. Despite airstrikes by
the US-led coalition, the IS fighters advanced this week.

Sekurang-kurangnya 500 orang terbunuh dan lebih
daripada 200,000 terpaksa melarikan diri ke Turki sejak jihad IS memulakan
serangan ke atas Kobani pada pertengahan September.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the town's
Kurdish fighters are being outgunned by the militants.
UN envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura warned Friday
that if Kobani falls to ISIS, thousands of civilians there would “most
likely be massacred.” He urged Turkey to prevent the slaughter.
"Do you remember Srebrenica? We do. We never forgot and probably we
never forgave ourselves," de Mistura told journalists.
At least 500 people have been killed and more than 200,000 forced to flee
into Turkey since the IS jihadists started an assault on Kobani in
mid-September.
