FILE - In this Saturday, Oct. 11, 2014 file photo, Kurdish Rabia Ali, right, accompanied by her son Ali Mehmud, mourn at the grave of her son Seydo Mehmud 'Curo' , a Kurdish fighter, who was killed in the fighting with the militants of the Islamic State group in Kobani, Syria, and was buried at a cemetery in Suruc, Turkey. No one contests that the U.S.-led coalition has conducted more than 40 airstrikes against the militants besieging Kobani, nor that Turkey has granted refuge to more than 200,000 people who have flooded across the border to escape the offensive. But Kurds say that both countries - and the international community in general - should be doing more to help save Kobani from the fanatical militants who have massacred and beheaded their enemies across Syria and Iraq.
