Morning Star.png Kurdish Militias Attack Syrian Republic Forces The Morning Star, London, 22 April 2016 Fighting continued yesterday between the Kurdish militia and government troops in the north-eastern Syrian border town of Qamishli. Clashes broke out on Wednesday when members of the local Asayish Kurdish "police force" refused to stop at a National Defence Forces (NDF) militia checkpoint. The Kurdish YPG militia joined the fray, also assaulting the city's Allya prison. Sixty-seven NDF fighters were reportedly captured and a dozen or so fighters died on each side. A truce negotiated overnight between the government and YPG parent group the Democratic Union Party (PYD) collapsed three hours later. The YPG reportedly also clashed with ethnic Assyrian militias. In a further escalation, Islamic State (Isis) claimed to have carried out a suicide bombing on a group of YPG fighters yesterday, killing 15 of them.
