Islamic State: Euphrates Province News
'Wilayat al-Furat' (Euphrates Province) is a newly created Islamic State provincial entity spanning the borders of Iraq and Syria, encompassing the Syrian town of Albukamal and the Iraqi town of al-Qa'im. This declared province is part of the Islamic State's messaging of 'breaking the Sykes-Picot borders', though it should be noted that provincial demarcation between Albukamal and al-Qa'im actually goes back to Ottoman times, despite historically close ties between the two towns.
