The Kurdish call comes hours after Isa Huso, a member of the Supreme Kurdish Council diplomacy committee, was assassinated as he left his house in the Syrian Kurdish city of Qamishli, a pro-Kurdish news agency said. The Supreme Kurdish Council is a platform bringing together Kurdish groups in Syria. The call to arms comes weeks into fighting between Kurds and jihadists in several areas of northern Syria.
