Kurdish Woman Suicide Bomber Attacks ISIS In Syria, Killing A Number Of Members (Video)

(N.Morgan) The Kurdish women have taken up arms, in the fight against ISIS. This time, they scored a few points, when one of the Kurdish women warriors suicide bombed a nest of ISIS, killing a number of their forces.The fight continues in the war torn area of Syrian border town of Kobane. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the woman blew herself up at an Islamic State position east of the city, killing a number of jihadists who have surrounded Kobane and are battling to seize it.

“The operation caused deaths, but there is no confirmed number,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said. He said it was the first reported instance of a female Kurdish fighter carrying out a suicide bombing against the Islamic State group, which has itself often favored the tactic. ISIS began its advance on Kobane, Syria’s third largest Kurdish town, on September 16, seeking to cement its grip over a long stretch of the Syria-Turkey border. The fighting around the town, also known as Ain al-Arab, has prompted a mass exodus of residents from the area, with some 186,000 fleeing across the border into Turkey.
