On the afternoon of 9 January 2013 the Kurdistan Information Centre did not answer calls.

There were three women in the building, but a deathly silence reigned. At first nothing seemed strange, until the evening when the phones continued to ring but no one answered them.

That night the door of no. 147 Rue La Fayette began to be knocked. It was a cold winter’s day.

When three people succeeded in opening the door at 1 o’clock in the morning of 10 January, they found three dead bodies inside.

Sara, Rojbin and Ronahi had each been shot three times in the head. The tenth bullet had been fired into Rojbin's mouth.

Sara was a founder member of the PKK. Rojbin was the Paris representative of the Kurdistan National Congress in exile. As for Ronahi, she was a member of the Kurdish youth movement.

These murders caused great anger. The assassin or assassins could not be far away.

The gunman had infiltrated the Kurdish freedom movement 18 months before and found many opportunities to carry out executions, but had not received the necessary order.

There have been many claims of collaboration between Turkey and ISIS. On 29 November ISIS gangs launched an attack from Turkish territory at the Mürşitpınar border gate.

The AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA) has issued the names of 12 Turkish intelligence (MIT) and special forces operatives who were assumed to be ISIS members and were killed in Mosul and Kobanê.

According to ABNA amongst the Turkish personnel killed in Mosul and Kobanê on the assumption they were ISIS members were former soldiers and MIT operatives.

This report is dedicated to Serena Shim. Because both of us, had been covering an almost identical story. Because she is dead and I am still alive. Because she was brave. Because even as she was being threatened, and scared, she did not stop her dedicated quest for the truth, and as long as people like her live, work, struggle and die for our humanity, all is not lost, yet!

Rainbow Clash

Palestina Rossa, na schau an. Hat er hier Asyl gefunden? Nur mit Headlines in Deutsch hat er s nicht so. Immer noch nicht? Nu ja, mit zunehmenden Alter ist der Kopp dicht und man lernts nicht mehr. Dafür kann er hier munter rumhetzen. Doch mit Kobane, IS und den abggeschnittenen Köpfen. Was n Jammer, da stimmt doch auf einmal das Feindbild nicht mehr. Ja, es sind schwere Zeiten dür Israelhasser, hast mein volles Mitgefühl.

YPG/YPJ fighters who repulsed an attack by ISIS gangs using bomb laden vehicles and tanks on 29 November, inflicted heavy blows on the gangs. YPG/YPJ fighters have also taken some positions from the gangs on the south eastern front. Rojvan Kobanê described what happened on 29 November when the gangs came to take Kobanê with Turkish support. He said: "That day they wanted to take Kobanê, but it didn’t happen. They couldn’t do it. We counter attacked and took several of their positions.”

The resistance in Kobanê is now in its 79th day. All ISIS attacks have been repulsed by the resistance of the YPG/YPJ fighters and the people of Kobanê. The attack mounted from Turkish territory on 29 November was one of the biggest ISIS attacks. The assault started with a bomb laden vehicle crossing from Turkey through the Mürşitpınar Border gate and on the same day ISIS carried out a day-long attack on the city using heavy weaponry, 4 car bombs and suicide bombers. While all the attacks were repulsed, the armoured vehicle that ISIS brought through the border gate exploded on the way in to Kobanê.

ISIS, which has targeted Kurds and others who are different from them in Sinjar, Kobanê, Makhmur, Kirkuk, Mosul and other places, has also spread terror and made life unbearable for Sunni Arabs.

Arabs who have escaped from ISIS in Jarablus say the gangs have spread terror and that they were unable to leave their houses or have a shave, and said they were waiting for the YPG to save the town. The people of Jarablus said: "They're not Arabs, all the bad people from every nation have come here and occupied our town. We call on the Arabs and the Kurds. Let's unite. We call on the YPG to come and save us."
