‘ISIL Used Cws Against Kobani Kurds’ by ALISMILE(m): 11:14am On Oct 14, 2014
Recent photos of Kurdish fighters killed in
battles with ISIL Takfiri militants in the
Syrian town of Kobani suggest that the
terrorists have used chemical weapons
against the Kurds.
The photographs, published by the Middle East
Review of International Affairs (MERIA) on
Sunday, show that the bodies of three Kurdish
fighters were not damaged by bullets, but
instead were marked by burns and white spots
without any visible wounds or external bleeding.
The photos also suggest that the ISIL could
possess a huge stockpile of chemical arms.
Earlier, Kurdish activists had said ISIL militants
carried out a chemical attack in the village of
Avdiko in east of Kobani on July 12.
The development comes as on Monday, Kurdish
fighters in Kobani managed to hold their ground
as automatic gunfire and mortar fire continued
in an area less than one kilometer (0.6 miles)
from the common border between Syria and
Turkey.
Meanwhile, the Syrian ambassador to the
United Nations has accused Turkey and Saudi
Arabia of providing weapons of mass
destruction for the terrorists operating inside his
country.
Bashar Jaafari told a UN committee on Monday
that Ankara and Riyadh are involved in giving
chemical weapons to the militants, adding that
Turkey supports over 100 terrorist groups in
Syria.
Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since
2011. Western powers and their regional allies
-- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey --
are reportedly supporting the militants
operating inside Syria.
More than 191,000 people have been killed in
over three years of fighting in the war-ravaged
country, says the Office of the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR),
calling the figure a probable “underestimate of
the real total number of people killed.

All fingers point to Turkey, wonder what Erdogan hopes to achieve aside from ousting Assad in Syria. It'll bite back eventually when the jihadists turn their attention towards Turkey a NATO member. The Ottoman empire was at the center of the Islamic caliphate they wish to create so the turks shouldn't think they'll be exempted.

Erdogan thinks by turning a blind eye on IS activities, IS would also ignore turkey. The world is watching.
