Kurdish fighters from Iraq will enter the besieged Syrian border city of Kobani soon to reinforce fellow Kurds who are defending against ISIS, a Peshmerga general told CNN on Tuesday. "The Peshmerga have been ready for a few days, then had logistical problems, but they no longer do," Brig. Gen. Halgurd Hikmat said of the Iraqi Kurdish forces. He added that "we now have an agreement with Turkey on this." The fighters were en route Tuesday, a Ministry of Peshmerga official who wouldn't give his name because of operational security reasons told CNN. One group traveling by air landed in Turkey early Wednesday, according to media reports.
