Heavily armed women from the Turkish PKK have gone into into Iraq to tackle the jihadists

A-Team: An elite unit of female soldiers is on the hunt for ISIS fighters

A crack unit of female soldiers is on the trail of Islamic State killers who have captured 3,000 innocent women in Iraq.

Thousands of non-Muslim women and girls have been kidnapped by Islamic State thugs on the rampage in the country over the past two weeks.

They face the terrifying prospect of being forced into marriage, sold as sex slaves or shot if they do not convert to Islam.

Now hundreds of women from the Turkish PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ party) have crossed into Iraq to help push the IS fighters out of the north of Iraq.

They are striking fear into the hearts of the Jihadist thugs who believe if they are killed by a woman in battle they will not reach heaven.

Heavy Unit: The female soldiers of the PKK will be tackling jihadists in Iraq  

Heavily-armed female fighters joined hundreds of men from the PKK and fought against the insurgents under U.S. air cover.

They are working with the Iraqi Kurdish region Peshmerga forces around the regional capital of Erbil and the Sinjar mountains, where thousands from the Yazidi religious minority have been trapped by the rapid advance of Islamic State fighters.

Peshmerga means ‘those who face death’. Once mountain guerrillas fighting for Kurdish autonomy in northern Iraq, these forces are now working for the Kurdistan regional Government against the Islamic extremists.

“Our support is just as important for the peshmerga as these US strikes - bombings alone cannot get rid of guerrilla groups,” said Sedar Botan, a female PKK veteran commander. We will keep fighting until all of Kurdistan is safe.”

Female Fighters: The Turkish PKK includes a unit of female soldiers who are on the hunt for ISIS fighters

The Kurds are one of the world’s largest stateless groups and their population spans parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. The PKK’s decades-long war for autonomy from Turkey has gained it international notoriety.

Loathed by millions of Turks for its campaign against the country’s police and conscript army, it has executed unarmed recruits and placed roadside bombs that have killed women and children.

But PKK guerrillas are assisting in the Kurdish ground offensive in conjunction with U.S. air attacks to retake the Mosul Dam from IS units.

Islamic State: Hooded ISIS gunmen like these are being targeted by the PKK

The US and UK governments have long regarded the PKK as a terrorist organization in its fight against Turkish authorities for Kurdish rights.

But Iraqi terror expert Nasser Kataw said: “There has been a re-drawing of battlefield alliances as people who were once enemies have joined together to try and defeat the scourge that is the Islamic State.”

Crack unit. Hehe.

[vladimir998]

I hope they’re successful beyond their wildest dreams.

Cavity search? Sure, you can use two...

Notice to ISIS. Be afraid, be very,very afraid. Women when provoked are the most vicious & vindictive beings on Earth. I speak as a woman.

[RoosterRedux]

Crack unit. Hehe.

Well, it's better than Camel Toe Commandos.;-)

Nearly made me spit out my lunch there!

The female of the species....I have read that that in the American Indian Wars, the torture of captives by the women of some tribes was worse than that of the warriors. Didn’t Kipling write a verse about saving the last bullet for yourself rather than be taken alive and turned over to the women?

[ricmc2175]

Turkish PKK? Do you mean the Kurds who have been fighting against Turkish genocide?

Try Jack London's short story, 'Lost Face' for a good description of the sadism of the 'native American woman'

Their genes go back to that of Alexander the Great’s generals that stayed in this area after his death...they have a lot of fight in them!

"The female soldiers of the PKK will be tackling jihadists in Iraq "

Note to ISIS: As other have posted, save one bullet for yourself in the event of capture. Your screams will be loud, and children will play soccer with your various body parts, while you are still screaming.

i don’t even want to ask about that picture. Seeing humans treated this way makes me ill.

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.

Among the Iroquois anyway, the first thing a captive was made to do on reaching the village is run a gauntlet of women and children with sticks and clubs. I’m not sure if you can say they were the worst at it—the men tortured plenty as well, but the women did often have a LOT of pent up rage at the death of a loved one in battle and then took it out on the captive.

There was one famous instance where a high-ranking Iroquois war chief was captured by the Erie and the elders wanted to save his life and adopt him. But the woman slated to adopt him, who had lost a relative to a skirmish earlier, insisted he be put to death instead. That launched an all-out war between the Erie and Iroquois in which the Erie were destroyed.

I hope they show less mercy to the islamic jihadists than the islamic jihadists have shown to human beings. Take no prisoners.

You bet’cha. Not only are female gang members way more vicious than their male counterparts, girls gang up on other girls beginning at an early age. Used to be just catty remarks in past years. Now they have broader access through electronic means and social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.
