"Like Moths To The Flame": ISIS Fighters Cut Down While Approaching Stranded Convoy

A convoy of buses containing hundreds of lightly armed ISIS terrorists and their family members remains stuck in the Syrian desert and pinned down as US and coalition planes continue to pick off militants who stray too far from the group.
