Beirut, July 1, 2015 (AFP) — Syrian Kurdish forces regained full control of Tal Abyad on Wednesday, expelling Islamic State group fighters who had seized a district of the strategic border town, a monitoring group said.
The IS fighters had launched a surprise attack on Tal Abyad on Tuesday, two weeks after losing the town to Kurdish fighters and their allies, but were forced out on Wednesday morning, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
