“Iraqi Kurds Decline to Join Ground Fighting in Kobane, ISIS Losing Ground”
by Arutz Sheva   
October 27th, 2014

Iraqi Kurdish forces will not participate in the ground fighting in the Syrian-Turkish border town of Kobane but instead intend to provide artillery support for fellow Kurds who are fighting off Islamic State militants, according to a report by Reuters, wherein they cite a Kurdish spokesman’s statement from yesterday (Sunday).

Fighters of the “Islamic State” terror organization have been trying to capture Kobane for more than a month, despite US-led air strikes on their positions and the deaths of hundreds of their fighters.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an NGO which has been monitoring the violence in Syria's three-and-a-half-year-old conflict, announced on Sunday it had confirmed that 815 people had been killed in the fighting for Kobane over the last 40 days, with more than half of them Islamic State fighters.
