ISIS Seizes 60 North Syria Villages in 48 Hours

Kurdish officials confirmed that ISIS is using US-made artillery and tanks in the new push, and has turned much of the Kurdish-held part of Aleppo into a warzone. Though they would not confirm number of villages lost, one Kurdish official did say about 100 villages have been evacuated of civilians because of the fighting.

Dummy, hitler was in Paris 6 days after he attacked the French magi not line.. Reagan asked them overflight when he bombed Libya in the 80's they denied it because of fear of Arabs, Consequently Reagan bombed France's embassy in Libya after they finished off Quadafi... The French wouldn't participate in the first or second Iraqi war... What are they doing bombing Isis now?

There is also a small contingent of Australian SAS moving around with the Peshmerga with another that 200 SAS and Commando Troops deployed yesterday. That's about 300 pairs of boots on the front line and not just any troops but arguably the best killers in the world.

Also deployed now are 8 x F-18F Super Hornets, 2 x Wedgetails AEW, 2 x A330 refuellers, 2 x C17 Heavy Lift Transports and a C130 Hercules Medium Lift plus 2 Super Puma Helicopters for SAS support.

The 49 Turkish hostages, previously captured in a raid on the consulate in Mosul, being held by Islamic State are reported to have been released and to have returned to Turkey at about 5 am this morning:

An interesting development given that most secular Turks think the whole thing was staged and this has so far served as the Turkish Islamist regime's pretext for not taking stronger action against Islamic State.

Lucky the hostages were Turkish and not American, British, Australian, Iranian, Kurdish or Syrian.

Another interesting development.

Something like 30 odd homes were raided by NSW Police, Queensland Police, Australian Federal Polce and ASIO during pre dawn raids spanning 2 States.

The group was under surveillance for some time. Some were planning to join ISIL in Syria. Passports confiscated.

Others were planning terrorist attacks which involved kidnapping a random member of the public, beheading them on camera, and posting the footage on social media.

Other allegations are that an attack was being planned on an Australian Army Barracks, and attacking the residence of Australian Prime Minister, Kiribili House on Sydney's North Shore.

Evidence includes phone taps, seized computer hard drives, intercepted emails, and so forth.

Other more minor allegations are posting hate material on social media.

One person slipped the net who is said to be an ISIL recruiter. The manhunt for him continues.

Islamic State had already said that they were all Sunni Muslims and so safe in their hands. The Turkish regime is boasting of this being a successful operation by the intelligence services to rescue these people; the possibility exists that they simply paid a bribe.

The interesting thing is that Turkey (or more precisely, the Turkish regime) has lost its pretext for not taking stronger action.

Yes well just imagine if they happen to capture an Australian SAS Soldier and he happens to be Sunni. Will he be safe? I doubt it! But it won't happen.

I don't think there are any safe bets here.
