        YPG Forces Fight to Halt IS Advance Near Key Militant Stronghold

   by Mahmoud Bali

   The northern Syrian city of Raqqa is a major stronghold of the Islamic
   State and is among the places the Obama administration has included in
   its plan to take back territory from the extremist group, which is also
   known as ISIS. Local Kurdish forces known as the YPG are putting up a
   fight against the ISIS militants near Raqqa, as we see in this report
   filed by VOA stringer Mahmoud Bali from the frontlines, narrated by Rob
   Raffaele.
