Kurdish fighters seized control Tuesday of a key border town from the Islamic State (ISIS) group, cutting a major supply line in the biggest setback yet for the jihadists in Syria.

From across the frontier in Turkey, the Kurds and allied Syrian rebels could be seen raising their banners in place of the black ISIS flag and taking up positions at the Tal Abyad border post, reports AFP.

Fighters with the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) militia waved their yellow banner as Turkish troops looked on from the other side of the frontier.

Their advance has prompted criticism from Turkish officials, who fear the growing power of Kurdish forces in Syria will embolden Turkey's Kurdish minority.

Turkey needs to get with the program.

Tough luck, Kurds.

[AnAmericanAbroad]

Good news.

This makes things much more difficult for ISIS; they still control on Syrian/Turkish border crossing in Aleppo Province. But - that adds another couple hundred miles to their supplies reaching them.

ISIS’ fear - most likely - is that if that lost Tal Abyad, they’d lose ar-Raqqa, their ‘capital’.

If they lose that - ar-Raqqa - they’re finished as a credible jihadist power. And I’m pretty sure they know it. They’ll become the laughingstock of every Johnny Jihadi on the face of the planet.

Good.

“”Tough luck, Kurds””

What does that mean? It sounds sarcastic and the news is positive news for the Kurds - bad for the terrorists....

[Maris Crane]

Especially since Erdogan has lost some power.

Love those Kurds.

[elhombrelibre]

Outstanding. Now, refit, retrain, remain vigilant, retain that momentum.

Yeah, and that's much more important than ISIS sawing off heads, ain't it you stupid Turks!

When does Obama start turning his drones on the Kurds?

[MinorityRepublican]

Turkey always have a way of dealing with Kurds. They will confront them because they hate the idea of an independent Kurdistan.
