Drug-crazed Islamic State militants are reportedly subjecting the Kurds and non-Muslims to large-scale genocide.
Some Kurds who managed to escape from Kobane into Turkey gave a chilling account of the horrific activities of the IS savages in the region.
Ekram Ahmet, who fled Kobane with his wife and five children six days ago, told the Sunday People that many of the old people refused to leave their sons to fight the IS in the besieged Syrian border town, the Mirror reports.
He said that people had nowhere to go and many more were trapped between the town and the Turkish border awaiting rescue or death.
He revealed that the militants kept popping in pills which seemed to make them more crazy and desperate to punish even children for the smallest thing.
According to the report, locals believe pills found on dead IS soldiers are amphetamines, which fire up the fighters' greed for killing.
Describing the IS terrorists as animals, Ahmet said that they had a bloodlust that he had never seen before, adding that it seemed as if they enjoyed killing.
Ahmet said that the IS reveled in cutting people's heads off and that it was like their trademark.
The US, on Friday and Saturday, conducted at least six air strikes on IS hideouts in Syria.
The IS presently controls large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq.
