JAKARTA, Oct 20, 2014 (AFP) — US Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday it would have been "irresponsible" not to help Kurdish fighters battling jihadists for the Syrian border town of Kobane after Washington made its first arms drop to them.
"It would be irresponsible of us, as well as morally very difficult, to turn your back on a community fighting ISIL," he said during a visit to the Indonesian capital Jakarta, using an alternative name for the Islamic State group.
