Turkey let ISIL militants into Syria's Kobani: Syria

Syria's official news agency�says Turkey has facilitated the re-entry of�ISIL Takfiri militants into�the Kurdish border town of Kobani where they detonated a car bomb.�

�Earlier today (Thursday), ISIL terrorists infiltrated once again into Ain al-Arab city from Turkish side,� SANA�said, using the Arabic name for Kobani.

ISIL militants began advancing into Kobani�after detonating a�car bomb near the border crossing, killing�at least 12 people and injuring�70 others. Fierce clashes erupted�between the ISIL militants and fighters of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG). The ISIL militants managed to recapture�some areas in�Kobani.

ISIL militants were reported to have�executed more than�20 Syrian Kurds, among them women and children, in a village south of Kobani.

The advance by ISIL came months after the terrorists were defeated�by YPG forces in Kobani�and surrounding areas. The terrorists were forced to withdraw from the strategic�border town.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Tanju Bilgi�, however, dismissed SANA's report, saying Turkish hospitals have admitted more than 60 people wounded in the border clashes.
