'There is close coordination between the two sides' said Rami

Abdel-Rahman added that the jihadists were hiding their artillery in
residential houses in Kobane to protect the weaponry from allied
aerial bombardment. Last month the United States and Arab allies
launched a campaign of airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria.
The coalition has intensified the bombardment in the past few days
slowing down the militants' advance into Kobane. Farhad Shami a
