So many refugees already. Where are these unfortunate people to go? It's a shame that with all the satellites orbiting this planet that the comings and goings of this savage extremist group couldn't be monitored and eventually some bombs dropped on their leaders via a drone.

BEIRUT: The Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria has expelled more than 30,000 people from their homes in the eastern Syrian town of Shheil, a monitoring group said Sunday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said ISIS had "forced out" some 30,000 residents after seizing Shheil Thursday from the Al-Qaeda-affiliate Nusra Front.
Another 30,000 residents have been forced from their homes in the towns of Khasham and Tabieh Jazeera, also in eastern Deir al-Zor province, the Britain-based group said.
"Some 30,000 residents of the town of Shheil, the former stronghold of Nusra Front, have been forced out by the Islamic State," the group said.
Though both ISIS and Nusra share a jihadist ideology, the two groups have regularly clashed, with Nusra joining a coalition of armed opposition groups fighting ISIS.
