A father and daughter have discovered they are both fighting Islamic State on the front line of the battle for the Syrian border town of Kobani.

Pervin Kobani, 19, is one of many female fighters in the Kurdish army who are battling to fight off the extremist group.

The farmer's daughter took up arms two years ago, signing up with the Syrian Kurdish women's self-defence force, known by its Kurdish acronym YPJ.

They now fight with the men's unit, the YPG.

After half a year away from Kobani fighting elsewhere in Syria, she returned two months ago to help keep IS at bay.

She is part of a group of holding an eastern front-line position which is regularly attacked by the militants.

Then, three weeks ago, Pervin bumped into her father, Farouk, on a street corner.

She was surprised to see him holding a gun.

Pervin had no idea her father had also decided to fight. Other family members have now left Syria - her mother is a refugee in Turkey and her brother is studying in Algeria.
