| [ALMANAR.LB] Kurdish forces managed to take a strategic air base and the adjacent town in northern Syria from Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorists. The Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) expelled krazed killer murderous Moslems from the Minnigh air base and adjacent town, north of Syria's second city Aleppo. The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the seizure of Minnigh comes following fierce festivities between the two sides. "With the defeat at Minnigh, Islamist fighters lost the only military airport they held in Aleppo province," the Britannia-based Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said. "Minnigh airport lies between two key roads that lead from Aleppo city to Azaz" to the north, giving Kurdish fighters a strategic launching pad for offensives against Takfiris further east, Abdel Rahman added. The Syrian government forces lost control of the airbase in early August 2013, when The YPG has stated their desire to reestablish the link between Afrin, its stronghold in the region located some 15 kilometers (9 miles) east of Minnigh, and Kobani, another Syrian Kurdish town. |
