Earlier this week when the battle around Kobane still raged, the extent of the desperation was felt by the lightly-armed Kurdish defenders of the city. However, things took a dramatic turn when a female Kurdish fighter carried out what is believed to be the first suicide bombing by Kurdish forces – utilizing the jihadists’ own brutal tactics against them.
The fighter blew herself up with a grenade among a gathering of ISIS fighters on the eastern outskirts of the besieged city, killing an unspecified number of ISIS terrorists.
