Washington, October 22 (RHC)-- The United States has continued its bombardment of Islamic State forces near the Syrian city of Kobani along the Turkish border.
According to the U.S. Central Command, U.S. military forces conducted six airstrikes near Kobani over the past several days. In a bid to hold off the ISIS advance on Kobani, the United States has begun dropping air supplies of weapons and aid to the Syrian Kurds, while Turkey, under heavy U.S. pressure, is now allowing Iraqi Kurdish forces to cross over into Syria to join the fight.
The Barack Obama administration had previously said Kobani was not a part of its "strategic objective."
