"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Syria Kurds seize town from ISIS, near its 'capital'- Daily Star

BEIRUT: Kurdish-led forces in Syria seized a town from ISIS Tuesday after capturing a military base overnight, aided by U.S.-led airstrikes in some of the most dramatic gains yet against the militants.
The Kurdish march deep into the heart of ISIS territory follows their capture of a town on the Turkish border last week, halting the momentum of militants who had seized major towns in both Syria and Iraq last month.
The Kurdish YPG-led forces had taken full control of Ain Issa, said Redur Xelil, a spokesman for the group. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which reports on the war, said ISIS fighters had completely withdrawn from the town.
