ISIS is So Wicked that Even is Militant are Fleeing to Turkey or rival militant groups

According to reports from ctivists from the Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS) group say tension is growing within ISIS' ranks after a number of its members defected and fled to Turkey, The Independent report.

The number of fighters defecting from Isis is causing the extremist group to seal off barriers and checkpoints throughout the city of Raqqa, a Syrian watchdog has claimed.

The RBSS said the “internal unrest” caused by the defections is cutting into the group, who were recently driven out of Kobani by Kurdish fighters and US-led coalition air strikes. Isis held over half of the border city between Syria and Turkey for more than a month before their defeat. Militants had also encircled the city, causing 200,000 to flee where they could and trapping those who were unable to leave.

Elijah J Magnier, Al Rai's chief international correspondent, told The Independent that "many" Isis foreign fighters have fled to Turkey because they were unwilling to continue fighting. He said some were caught and executed by Isis but others managed to escape .
