Islamic State Attack on Syria's Kobani Kills 146

An attack by Islamic State fighters on the Syrian town of Kobani and a nearby village has so far killed at least 146 civilians. According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, it's the second-biggest massacre by the hardline group in the country. Rami Abdulrahman, the head of the monitoring group, said Islamic State entered Kobani at the Turkish border on Thursday and clashes have continued with Kurdish YPG forces in the town. The town is also known as Ayn al-Arab. Some of the wounded have been taken to Turkey.
Local witnesses said around 50 people fled to Kobani's Mursitpinar border gate with Turkey after the attack, seeking to cross the border.
Syrian state TV said the attackers had entered Kobani from Turkey - a claim denied by the Turkish government.
