Turkey, supported by warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition, struck Islamic State along its border on Wednesday. Ankara sees Muslim's PYD, which has also battled Islamic State with U.S. backing, as a threat because of its links with Kurdish militants waging their own insurgency on Turkish soil since 1984.
"Turkey is in Syrian quagmire. Will be defeated as Daesh," Muslim tweeted in Turkish, Arabic and English. Daesh is the Arabic acronym for Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
