Kobani survivors reveal horrific details of IS savagery, recall seeing headless corpses, faces with eyes cut out

Horrific accounts of savagery committed by the Islamic State (IS) militants have been revealed by survivors of the ongoing fighting in Kobani.

The Independent reports refugees in Suruc, Tukey, have told The Daily Mail how relatives and neighbours were beheaded by the militants, while another spoke of how he had seen "hundreds" of decapitated corpses in the besieged town.

Harrowing details of headless corpses on the streets, and dead bodies with eyes and tongues cut out by the IS have surfaced.

Amin Fajar, 38, a father-of-four who left Kobani and made it across the border and into Suruc, recalled how he had seen hundreds of bodies with their heads cut off.

He recounted seeing bodies with just their hands or legs missing and faces with their eyes or tongues cut out.

Belal Shahin, another Kobani refugee in Suruc, told MSNBC that IS came into the villages and beheaded people as well as animals.

Shahin said that they took animals and girls and left nothing, adding that even animals don't do what the IS were doing.

The UN Syria envoy on Friday warned that hundreds of people still trapped in Kobani risked being "massacred" by militants if the town fell, for only a small corridor remained open for them to flee.

It is reported that more than 200,000 have already escaped across the border to Turkey but up to 700 remain inside the town.
