Syrian Kurds take cover from the rain in the southeastern town of Suruc in the Sanliurfa province after crossing the border between Syria and Turkey after mortars hit both sides on October 2, 2014. Islamic State fighters are pushing towards a key Kurdish town on Syria's border with Turkey, whose parliament is set on October 2 to consider authorising military intervention against the jihadists on its doorstep. Kurdish fighters backed by US-led air strikes were locked in fierce fighting to prevent the besieged border town of Ain al-Arab, known as Kobane by the Kurds, from falling to the Islamic State group fighters.
