An al Qaeda renegade group killed 15 Kurdish people, seven of them children, in an attack on a village in **rthern Syria, a monitoring group and a photographer at the scene said on Friday. The attack by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which was disowned by al Qaeda's central command earlier this year, occurred during a six-month-old ISIL offensive against Syrian Kurds and various rebel groups that has weakened the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad and killed thousands. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a freelance photographer said the attack took place on Thursday near the Kurdish town of Ras al-Ain after militants stormed a village. Ras al-Ain, 600 km (375 miles) from Damascus, is part of Syria's **rtheastern oil-producing province of Hasaka, home to many of the million-strong Syrian Kurdish mi**rity.
