Syria - ISIS Beheads 9 Captured Kurds, Including 3 Women
BEIRUT: Activists say ISIS militants have beheaded nine Kurdish
fighters, including three women, captured in clashes near the
Syria-Turkey border.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said
Wednesday that the nine Kurds were captured during fighting over the northern
Syrian town of Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab.
There have been fierce
clashes around Kobani since mid-September, when ISIS launched an assault to
seize the area.
The Observatory also says
that dozens of militants and Kurdish fighters were killed in clashes overnight.
Images posted on social
media networks show women's heads placed on a cement block, said to be in the
northern Syrian city of Jarablous, held by militants. The photos could not be
independently verified but correspond to The Associated Press' reporting of the
event.
