They may have fled to safety, but these Syrian Kurds can't help but look back over the border they just crossed to watch their brothers-in-arms fight for the land they left behind. In the last week alone, more than 150,000 Kurdish men, women and children have crossed into Sanlinurfa, Turkey, to escape the  Islamic State fighters laying siege to their hometown, Kobani, some 15 miles to the south. But while they are now safe, the war rages on as Kurdish Peshmerga warriors - backed by U.S. airstrikes - fight to hold their murderous enemy at bay. Nervous: They may have escaped to freedom, but these Syrian Kurds can't help but look back over the border they just crossed to cheer on their brothers fighting back the jihadis overrunning their homeland
