Islamic State Just Days away from Overtaking Kobane
The Syrian border town of Kobane will fall to terrorists unless those
fighting it are given heavy weapons and extra fighters

Kurdish militia fighters battling to hold Kobane in the face of a jihadist
onslaught have said they will lose the key Syrianborder town within a
week, unless they are given heavy weapons and extra fighters.
.
The United States-led coalition stepped up its bombardment of Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) positions in Kobane on Thursday, and
the US Central Command claimed that Kurdish militia allies controlled
"most of the city" and were "holding out against Isil".
.
But residents of Kobane and fighters on the ground provided a much darker
prognosis for the fate of town that has become a crucial test of the
ability of President Barack Obama's new international coalition to defeat
Isil.
.
Azad Osman, 24, a native of Kobane now taking refuge in Turkey, said a
relative fighting on the front line had revealed that local forces were
unable to compete with Isil's sophisticated weaponry even with the help of
American air strikes.
.
"He is fighting on the eastern side and he said he didn't think the
Kurdish forces would be able to hold on because they don't have enough
heavy weapons," said Mr Osman, who speaks everyday by phone with his
cousin, Farouq Shahin, 50, a Kurdish volunteer commander.
.
The plea came as Turkey, a Nato member, said that it would not take
responsibility for saving the town by unilaterally sending in ground
troops, despite facing mounting pressure from the US to participate in the
anti-Isil coalition.
.
"It is not realistic to expect Turkey to conduct a ground operation on its
own," Mevlut Cavusoglu, the Turkish foreign minister told a joint news
conference with visiting Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg.
.
Turkey's reluctance to join the anti-Isil coalition and participate in the
conflict on its border is in part motivated by the differing goals between
it and the United States in Syria.
.
Whilst the US' recent intervention is heavily focusing on destroying Isil
and al-Qaeda in Syria, Turkey's ambition includes the removal of the
regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
