Kurdish Fighters Stop ISIS Advance

Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Kurdish fighters were able to stop an advance by the Islamic terrorist group ISIS into the town of Kobani but could not stop suicide bombers from launching homicide bomber attacks in another Iraqi province.

The bombings happned in the Qara Tappah district in Diyala province.  One bomber blew himself up at the gateway to the offices of the main Kurdish political party and two others blew themselves up in cars loaded with explosives minutes later.

The terrorists involved were reportedly foreigners who came to Iraq to fight with ISIS.

The CIA now reports ISIS has a total strength of 31,500 terrorists in Iraq and Syria.  The attacks in Diyala follow 45 people being killed in similar attacks around Baghdad the prior day.

Kurdish fighters were able to top the advance into Kobani but ISIS has taken over at least 350 villages close to the main city.  At least 150,000 people in the region have fled across the Turkish border.
