US-Arab Nations joint operation attacks ISIS locations in Syria-Turkey border


Mystery surrounds the aerial bombing near Kobane – it happened at about 01:00 local time (22:00 GMT) but US has not been confirmed that it was responsible, neither was any of its coalition member bbc.com.
Moreover, Turkish military sources have indicated that neither its air force nor the US airbase at Incirlik in southern Turkey had been used.
Anyway, new air strikes of US-coalition have targeted Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria attacking areas close to the border with Turkey. In fact, Syrian activists have reported strikes around the Kurdish town of Kobane, which has been besieged by IS fighters for several days.
Witnesses have revealed that two military aircraft had been seen approaching from Turkey but Turkish officials denied its airspace or bases were used in the attack.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that it had conducted two more strikes in Syria, hitting two IS vehicles in Deir al-Zour in the east of the country and, till now, the US has launched nearly 200 air strikes in Iraq since August.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron had made his position clear saying that an international coalition was needed to "destroy" IS and has added that it was a fight "you cannot opt out of".

IS extremists behead second US journalist Steven Sotloff – warns Obama of more such deaths


The Islamic State extremists have beheaded a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and released its video with a warning to President Barack Obama that such deaths will continue as long as US keeps up its airstrikes against the militant group nzherald.co.nz. The video is ‘A Second Message to America’ and the message is - "our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people." The video footage was posted two weeks after the release of an earlier video that revealed the brutal killing of James Foley and days after Sotloff's mother pleaded for his life. The Sotloff family has confirmed the death of the 31-year-old Steven who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines. He had vanished in Syria in August 2013 and was not seen again until he appeared in a video released online last month that showed Foley's beheading. It seems the IS has threatened to kill another hostage who has been identified as a British citizen named David Cawthorne Haines. In order to keep up its strangling of civilization, the IS extremist group has been publishing graphic photos and gruesome videos of everything from bombings and beheadings to mass killings – its aim is to keep terrorizing people from all walks of life.
