NGO: Kurds capture jihadist commander in north Syria
None
Syrian Kurdish fighters in the north fought fierce battles against jihadists and captured a commander of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) Saturday, a monitoring group said. "Battles pitting fighters from the Kurdish Fighters brigade against ISIS and other groups are raging in several areas of Tal Abyad... after (Kurdish) fighters captured ISIS' emir in the town," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP the emir's nom-de-guerre is Abu Musab, though it was unclear whether he is Syrian or foreign. (AFP)
