Turkey arrests would-be bombers fleeing to Syria - Erdogan

Ibrahim Abd al-Qader, born in 1998, and his friend Fares Hammadi, who had resigned from the group in 2014 because of the dangers of the work, were found dead in their apartment on Friday, October 30 morning, Abu Ibrahim Raqqawi, the 23-year-old founder of the group told .

The group works in secret from inside the city of Raqqa - the capital of the terror group's self-declared caliphate - at huge personal risk.

Police said footage from nearby surveillance showed someone running from the scene and a Syrian - identified as T.S. and said to have lived with the pair - is reportedly missing.

Officers said an investigation was under way to reveal whether the incident was linked to terrorism.

An activist with the group refused to speak about the killings of the two activists, saying only that "our wound is still fresh".

The video, uploaded by the group Raqqa is Being Slaughter Silently, is a message from Abu Issa, the leader of the militia.

At the same time, the schools which are in the neighborhoods outside the control of the regime forces in Aleppo suspended the study until the calm returns to the area fearing the bombing of warplanes which the city is witnessing for days.

Carter implied that the U.S. will not immediately seek to establish a no-fly zone in Syria, as demanded by many within the military/intelligence and political establishment, but confirmed that such a move was under consideration and, if implemented, would require a few type of military occupation on the ground. Hamadi was also in his early twenties.

U.S. Defence Secretary Ashton Carter said earlier this week the U.S.-led coalition would support local forces as they put pressure on Islamic State in Raqqa and in neighbouring Iraq.

Twitter accounts affiliated with ISIS praised the killings Friday.

Team members inside Turkey receive regular threats from Isil, but Mr Ibrahim said this was the first time they had been acted on. U.S. strategy in Syria, then, is reacting to these developments on the ground - trying to help the Kurds and allied Arabs push south into Raqqa proper.

It "marks a major shift in US policy - a shift that is occurring without congressional debate (and) is unlikely to succeed in achieving our objective of defeating IS", said Sen.

One of the militants speaks English in the video, with a message to President Barack Obama, saying "you did not gain anything, you returned to your bases and with losses and humiliation".

Four of the strikes in Syria were concentrated around Dayr Az Zawr, where they hit an Islamic State crude oil collection point and a petroleum pump as well as destroying a crane and mobile pump, the coalition said in a statement on Saturday.

While US troops are likely to conduct raids in Syria, the senior defense official said, the special operators stationed in the country's northern region will not participate in such missions.

The group was known to have a presence in Urfa, where the murders too place.
