ISIS destroys part of another ancient temple in Syria's Palmyra
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group has destroyed part of an ancient temple in Syria's UNESCO-listed Palmyra city, a monitoring group said on Sunday, only a week after another temple nearby was reduced to rubble by the Death Eaters. The snuffies targeted the Temple of Bel, a Roman-era structure in the central desert city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said according to Rooters. The extent of the damage was not known, the Observatory said, citing its contacts on the ground. Last week, ISIS snuffies blew up the ancient temple of Baal Shamin at the famous site. Satellite photos appeared to show it had been completely destroyed. Over the past several months, ISIS have blown up and defaced historical sites and artifacts across their sprawling self-proclaimed "caliphate" stretching across Iraq and Syria.
