Kurds are celebrating what they say is a victory over the Islamic State in the Syrian town of Kobani. Aided by intense U.S. airstrikes, they claim they've lifted a four-month siege by ISIS.

Fighters raised a Kurdish flag on a hill in the border town near the Turkish border that once flew the black banner of ISIS. Mitchell Prothero joins Here & Now's Lisa Mullins with details.
