Kurd stop ISIS attack near Raqqa
2015-10-25
[ARA News] QAMISHLI – The Kurdish Self-Defense Forces were able to foil a car bomb attack led by ISIS near a town in Raqqa province, eastern Syria, the Kurdish military leadership said Saturday.

“ISIS terrorists tried to launch a car bomb attack on our locations near the town of Suluk, adjacent to the village of Abu Hermel, but the SDF was able to thwart the attack,” the Media Center of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) said in a statement.

“The SDF destroyed an ISIS-led vehicle with a rocket, killing its entire crew,” the statement read.

The YPG’s leadership added “ISIS terrorists attacked our headquarters with mortars near Qara Qozak, southwest of Kobane, but our forces have responded strongly to the attack.”

Separately, a fighter of the SDF was reportedly killed Wednesday in an explosion of a land mine (planted by ISIS) in Hasakah province, northeast Syria.
