(Reuters) -
Kurdish forces took full control of the Syrian town of Kobani near the
Turkish border on Monday, driving out the last group of Islamic State
fighters after nearly four months of battles, the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights monitoring group said. The Syrian Kurdish
forces have been backed by near daily U.S.-led airstrikes around the
town, known as Ayn al-Arab in Arabic, and supported by Iraqi Kurdish
peshmerga forces.
