W460

Jihadists from the Islamic State group seized the last Syrian regime-controlled crossing on the border with Iraq late Thursday, a monitoring group said.

"IS seized control of the al-Tanaf border crossing on the Syrian-Iraqi border... after regime forces withdrew, leaving the Syrian regime with no control over its border with Iraq," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Habibi - was it not for the US airforce, ISIS would have by now conquered all of Kurdish areas in Syria and most of Kurdish areas in Iraq. They would likely be now at the gates of Baghdad with full control over Anbar,Salaheddin and Diyala.
