Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKurdish officials and Syrian activists say Islamic State gunmen were nearly pushed out of Kobani.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and senior Kurdish official Idriss Nassan say the group had been nearly expelled, with some sporadic fighting on the eastern edges of the city near Turkey.
“The Islamic State is on the verge of defeat,” said Nassan, speaking from Turkey near the Syrian border. “Its defenses have collapsed and its fighters have fled.”
