U.S. Airstrikes in Syria Iraqi Kurdish lawmakers agreed Wednesday to send much-needed reinforcements to
fellow Kurds battling to stop the key Syrian border town of Kobane from falling
into the hands of the Islamic State group. The approval came as Turkey
criticised US air drops of ammunition and weapons to Kobane’s Kurdish defenders,
with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying some of the deliveries had fallen
into the wrong hands. Backed by air strikes from a US-led coalition, Kurdish
militia have been defending Kobane against a fierce IS offensive for more than a
month. (AFP) Find more news related pictures in our photo galleries and follow
