Syria - Oct 31

Iraqi peshmerga fighters began entering the Syrian border town of Kobani Friday night to join the battle against Islamist militants there. An official from Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party, or PYD, claimed Turkish leaders were hoping that militants from IS capture the town before the Iraqi fighters entered. The peshmerga fighters are bringing with them heavy machineguns and anti-tank missiles, hoping to reverse gains by IS, which is better equipped from arms stolen in victories last June.
