                Developments in Kobani, Syria - October 26, 2014

   The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Sunday that,
   in the six-week battle between Islamic State militants and Kurdish
   fighters for control of Kobani, Syria, nearly 500 jihadists and more
   than 300 Kurds have been killed. That total is in addition to another
   550 or more killed, mostly Islamic State fighters, by U.S.-led
   airstrikes in the last month.
