But in the tranquility of a Turkish tea garden just miles from the frontier , Dalil Boras vowed to head back after nightfall to continue the fight. Pulling a wad of Syrian bills from his pocket, the young fighter — who has already lost a 17-year-old brother to the Is- lamic militants’ brutal advance — said that if the Turkish bor- der guards tried to stop him, money would persuade them. Boras and his relatives are among some 100,000 Syrians, mostly Kurds, who have flooded into Turkey since Thursday , escaping an Islamic State offensive that has pushed the con- flict nearly within eyeshot of the Turkish border. The al-Qaida breakaway group, which has established an Islamic state, or caliphate, ruled by its harsh version of Is- lamic law in territory it captured straddling the Syria-Iraq bor- der , has in recent days advanced into Kurdish regions of Syria that border Turkey , where fleeing refugees on Sunday re- ported atrocities that included stonings, beheadings and the torching of homes. On Sunday , heavy clashes broke out between the Islamic State militants and Kurdish fighters only miles from the Syrian border town of Kobani, where the Islamic State group was bombarding villagers with tanks, artillery and multiple rocket launchers, said Nasser Haj Mansour , a defense official in Syria’s Kurdish region. Govts. Slow To Combat ISIS Propaganda DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — As the Islamic State group battles across Syria and Iraq, pushing back larger armies and ruling over entire cities, it is also waging an in- creasingly sophisticated media campaign that has rallied dis- enfranchised youth and outpaced the sluggish efforts of Arab governments to stem its appeal. Long gone are the days when militant leaders like Osama bin Laden smuggled grainy videos to Al-Jazeera. Nowadays Is- lamic State backers use Twitter , Facebook and other online platforms to entice recruits with professionally made videos showing fighters waging holy war and building an Islamic utopia. The extremist group’s opponents say it is dragging the re- gion back into the Middle Ages with its grisly beheadings and massacres, but its tech-savvy media strategy has exposed the ways in which Arab governments and mainstream religious au- thorities seem to be living in the past. Most Arab governments see social media as a threat to their stability and have largely failed to harness its power , ex- perts say. Instead, they have tried to monitor and censor the Internet while churning out stale public statements and state- approved sermons on stuffy government-run media. Relatives: Vet Arrested At White House Needs Help BY BETSY BLANEY AND JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press MIDLAND, Texas — An Iraq war vet- eran accused of scaling a fence and making it into the White House before the Secret Service stopped him posed no threat to anyone and needs counsel- ing instead of prosecution, members of his family said Sunday. Omar Gonzalez, 42, was arrested Fri- day and is expected in federal court Monday to face charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dan- gerous weapon — a small folding knife in this case. Jerry Murphy , whose mother was married to Gonzalez for several years, said Gonzalez suffers from post-trau- matic stress disorder and that he needs treatment. He said Gonzalez has been driving around the country and living out of his truck for the past couple of years, and that he always carries his knife. “I know he’s got heavy artillery , you know?” Murphy added. “He’s got all kinds of weapons and he was trained to use them. I believe if he wanted to make a scene or cause problems, he very well could have. But it’s clear that he did- n’t.” The Secret Service has come under heavy criticism since the embarrassing security breach, which happened when the first family wasn’t at the White House. Secret Service Director Julia Pierson ordered increased surveillance and more officer patrols at the White House, as the agency investigates what went wrong. The Army said Gonzalez enlisted in July 1997 and remained until complet- ing his service obligation in September 2003. He reenlisted in July 2005 and served until his retirement in late 2012, serving in Iraq from October 2006 to January 2008. The military does not provide de- tails about a soldier’s disability due to privacy considerations. But Samantha Bell, who is Gonzalez’s ex-wife and Mur- phy’s mother , said Gonzalez was honor- ably discharged for medical reasons and suffered from plantar fasciitis on his feet, on which he had had some sur- geries. She said he also suffered from PTSD, for which he had been pre- scribed several medications. Bell said she and Gonzalez married in 2006 and lived together in Copperas Cove, near Fort Hood, until she split up with him in 2010 because of his worsen- ing mental condition. After his second tour in Iraq, Gonzalez began carrying a .45 on his hip at all times and kept three or four rifles and shotguns behind the doors in their home, said Bell, who re- married and now lives in southern Indi- ana. She said Gonzalez kept the blinds drawn and would repeatedly go down- stairs during the night to make sure the doors were locked and the oven was off. She said she once woke up in the middle of the night to find Gonzalez standing at the foot of the bed and staring at her. She said he told her he was simply watching her sleep. “Omar is a good guy; he’s just got some issues that he needs help with,” she said. “I think this is a cry out for help, what he’s done.” Bell said she had never heard Gonza- lez speak about the “falling atmos- phere” that a criminal complaint says Gonzalez wanted to warn the president about. Murphy’s sister described Gonzalez as a kind, gentle man who was scarred by war. “He was the kind of person everyone liked,” said Rainie Murphy-Gandy , 24, of Midland, who lived with her mom and Gonzalez when he was based at Fort Hood. “He just started going downhill.” Less than 24 hours after Gonzalez’s arrest, a second man was apprehended after he drove up to a White House gate and refused to leave, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said, prompt- ing bomb technicians in full gear to search the vehicle as agents briefly shut down nearby streets. On Sunday , Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary identified the man as Kevin Carr , 19, of Shamong, New Jersey. There were no indications the two incidents were connected. But they only intensified the scrutiny of the Se- cret Service, which is struggling to re- habilitate its image following a series of allegations of misconduct by agents in recent years, including agents on Obama’s detail.

MIDLAND, Texas — An Iraq war vet-eran accused of scaling a fence andmaking it into the White House beforethe Secret Service stopped him posedno threat to anyone and needs counsel-ing instead of prosecution, members ofhis family said Sunday.
Omar Gonzalez, 42, was arrested Fri-day and is expected in federal courtMonday to face charges of unlawfullyentering a restricted building orgrounds while carrying a deadly or dan-gerous weapon — a small folding knifein this case.
