Turkey's Daily Sabah has tweeted a video of an attack by IS militants on the Bashiqa camp in northern Iraq yesterday where Turkish forces are stationed. Four Turkish soldiers were injured in the attack.
More than a month after the slaying of two Syrian activists in the Turkish city of Sanliurfa, the media collective that the two men -- Ibrahim Abdelqader and his friend Fares Hamadi belonged to -- which secretly documents life in the IS stronghold of Raqqa -- has been forced into deep hiding, AP reports.
IS claimed responsibility for the murders of the two activists from the Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently group in a video message.
The group won the 2015 Committee to Protect Journalists' International Press Freedom Award last month.
But their members are at risk -- even those in Turkey.
The remaining members of Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently -- roughly 30 people, mostly based in Syria -- are taking extraordinary precautions. Those in Turkey have changed residences and avoid encounters with contacts that have not been thoroughly vetted.
Most lack passports or the documents needed to get out of the country.
[The Committee to Protect Journalists] says it has been working to help activists and family members relocate, but Abdelqader says more can be done.
"We are being killed. We are being threatened on a daily basis by IS," he said. "What is strange to us is that no one has showed any concern -- not even the organizations that protect journalists. No state has offered us protection or offered to help protect my family. No one has given us a helping hand."
Putin has commented on the new counter-terrorism coalition announced by Saudi Arabia earlier this week.
Putin said that he did not think that the coalition would have an "anti-Russian character."
"For the war on terror, we have to unite all our forces, the alliance created by Saudi Arabia must act in the common interest," Putin said of the coalition against terrorism announced by Riyadh this week.
Putin says that "Moscow and Riyadh have different approaches to settling the Syrian conflict in a number of areas but there are overlaps."
Turkey has stopped more than 36,500 terror suspects heading to join the IS group in Syria, Interior Minister Efkan Ala has said.
Ala told the Anadolu Agency that most of the suspects had been stopped from entering Turkey at the border but that almost 2,800 people from 89 countries had been arrested and later deported.

Libya's warring factions have met in Morocco to sign a U.N.-brokered peace deal to form a national government that Western powers hope will bring stability and help fight a growing Islamic State presence, Reuters reports.
IS militants, exploiting the growing chaos in Libya since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi four years ago, have expanded their presence in the country, including by taking over the city of Sirte, ransacking oil fields to the south of that city and killing a group of Egyptian Christians.
Investigators of the Paris attacks have found evidence they believe shows some of the attackers used encrypted apps to conceal their plotting for the attacks, officials briefed on the investigation have told CNN.
Officials found that the attackers used apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, which use end-to-end encryption that protects user privacy.
CNN says that the officials have not revealed what specific evidence shows that these apps were used for planning the Paris attacks, but they did say that the attackers used the apps to communicate among themselves for a period before the attacks.
