All the terrorist attacks happening today look to be connect to ISIS, who has already acknowledged the attack in Kuwait was from them. Now we see they massacred almost 150 people in Kobani with three car bombs, killing women, children, and the elderly.
But hey, Obama has all this under control:
REUTERS – Islamic State fighters killed at least 145 civilians in an attack on the Syrian town of Kobani and a nearby village, in what a monitoring group described on Friday as one of the worst massacres carried out by the hardline group in Syria.
The Kurdish YPG militia described the attack on Kobani as “a suicide mission” rather than an attempt to capture the town at the Turkish border. It said it fought intermittent gun battles on Friday with Islamic State fighters holed up in three locations.
The attack on the predominantly Kurdish town of Kobani and the nearby village of Brakh Bootan marked the biggest single massacre of civilians by Islamic State in Syria since it killed hundreds of members of the Sunni Sheitaat tribe last year, Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory, said.
He said 146 civilians had been killed. The YPG spokesman said at least 145 had died in the assault launched by a group of Islamic State fighters estimated to number in the dozens.
“The Daesh attack was a suicide mission. Its aim wasn’t to take the city but to create terror,” spokesman Redur Xelil said, using an Arabic name for the group.
The assault included at least three suicide car bombs. The dead included the elderly, women and children.
The Islamic State fighters were reported to have entered the town disguised as members of the YPG and Syrian rebel groups.
Horrible. This is video from the funeral for the victims:
