At
least eight people were killed in a car bomb attack in the Syrian town
of Kobane near the Turkish border, Turkish news agency Anatolia
reported.
The
blast occurred when Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant fighters
staged an attack
from three sides of the town, an official from the
Kurdish People’s Protection Units has said on Thursday.
Fighting is said to be ongoing, with the YPG asking civilians to stay home as it sent reinforcements to the town.
The
fighting prompted Kurdish activists on Twitter to accuse Turkey of
allowing ISIL to attack Kobane from its side of the border.
