Syrian rebels enter Kurdish town from Turkey
Syrian activists and Kurdish officials say a small group of Syrian rebels have entered the embattled border town of Kobani to help Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State extremists.
The group of around 50 armed fighters is from the Free Syrian Army, an umbrella group of mainstream rebels fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Idriss Nassan, a Kurdish official from Kobani, said the group crossed to Kobani through the Mursitpinar border crossing with Turkey.
