U.S.-Led Bombing Targets ISIS Oil Refineries in Syria; Civilians Killed in Aleppo Strike

HeadlineSep 25, 2014

U.S.-led airstrikes are continuing in Syria for a third day. The latest bombings reportedly hit oil refineries controlled by the Islamic State in Syria’s east, with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates taking part. In striking the refineries, the United States says it is going after one of the Islamic State’s main sources of funding. Airstrikes also hit the Syrian town of Kobani, where tens of thousands have fled an ISIS assault over the past week. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an earlier strike in Aleppo killed 70 fighters and eight civilians. The Assad regime appears to have endorsed the U.S.-led bombings, with one minister telling Reuters they are going in the “right direction.”
