ISIL blows up ancient monuments in Iraq

A recent video, purportedly released by the Daesh Takfiri terrorists, shows the destruction of several ancient monuments in northern Iraq by the terrorist group.

In the video, a terrorist dressed in black vows to destroy the 2,500-year-old temple of Nabu in the Daesh-held Iraqi ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud before a massive blast reduces a building to rubble. Information signs on the Nabu temple wall before the explosion are also shown from a number of different angles.

It is not known when the Daesh terrorists targeted the Nabu temple.

The footage also shows the destruction of the reconstructed Adad and Mashki Gates and a large portion of Nineveh’s fortification wall.

Takfiri militants have demolished several holy shrines and mosques belonging to Shia and Sunni Muslims in the militancy-riddled regions of Nineveh province.

Daesh has destroyed several ancient monuments in northern Iraq and neighboring Syria.

Earlier this year, shocking pictures showed how Daesh terrorists had destroyed ancient monuments in the Syrian city of Palmyra. The terrorists sparked a global fury when they started destroying Palmyra's treasured monuments.
