ISIS Slaughters Kobani Families In Their Homes

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Islamic terrorist group ISIS launched a surprise attack on the Kurdish held city of Kobani Thursday night, slaughtering entire families inside their homes.

Survivors of the assault told the Christian Science Monitor of the devastation of the assault.

Silva Sheikh, 7, talked to CSM outside of a hospital with her T-shirt covered in the blood of her mother, father, grandfather and grandmother who were gunned down by the terrorists.

“I took my brothers and sisters by the hand and we escaped, but I forgot the pram with baby Linda inside,” she cries as her other siblings sit silently with her.

“My neighbors told me IS entered the house and killed everyone but the children” explains their aunt, Aida Sheikh, who collected them after an ambulance brought them across the border. “Everyone we’ve called in Kobane is too scared to go rescue the baby. Look at these innocent children. How will I care for them? What will I tell them?”

Witnesses say the terrorists were disguised as allied militia.

“I assume that the main purpose of the attack was almost certainly not to take and hold Kobane, but to throw the Kurds off balance and force them to divert forces to protect Kobane and other rear areas, so as to ease the threat they pose to Isis’s ‘capital’ in Raqqa,” said Yezid Sayegh, an expert at the Carnegie Middle East Centre in Beirut. “Consequently, Isis didn’t need to use large numbers of fighters, just enough to do something dramatic – easily done by attacking a ‘soft’ target such as civilians.”
