  Syria Kurds capture key town from Islamic State June 24, 2015 - 10:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Kurdish fighters in northern Syria say they have captured a key town from Islamic State, just 50km (30 miles) from the group's headquarters at Raqqa, BBC News reports. A spokesman for the Popular Protection Units (YPG) said Ain Issa and its surrounding villages were now under the militia's "total control". It follows the capture on Monday night of a military base outside the town. The YPG captured the town of Tal Abyad on the Turkish border last week, cutting a major supply line for IS. The jihadist group has suffered a string of defeats to Kurdish forces since being forced to withdraw from the town of Kobane in January after a four-month battle.
