A Syrian Kurdish official is calling on the international community to allow weapons into the border town of Kobani. The official says that the town was still in danger from ISIS, despite the small advances by Kurdish fighters. Coalition airstrikes are said to have been effective to a point.

This resource is something that has, until now, confounded the Kurds.
