تاریخی جگہوں کی تباہی
جن علامات کا ذکر جابجہ قران اور دیگر الہامی کتب میں ملتا ہے ، ان میں سے ایک نمرود نامی اثار قدیمہ کی جگہ کو داعش نے تباہ کر دیا

Nimrud, Iraq - The Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) blew up Nimrud on a spring day last year. A truck mounted with speakers drove through the dusty roads surrounding the ruins of the ancient Assyrian city beforehand, instructing local residents to open their windows so that the glass wasn't shattered by the shock-wave of a massive blast.
Black-clad ISIL fighters then placed barrel loads of explosives among structures, friezes and sculptures constructed more than 3,000 years ago, then detonated them in an eruption of earth and masonry that leveled most of the site and sent debris for hundreds of metres.
Ahmed, 26, who lives in a nearby village describes it as being like an earthquake. "It was very strong," he recalls. "The land itself was shaking." Nimrud was founded in the 13th century BCE and is widely seen one as one of the world's great archaeological treasures, home to the palace of Assyrian King Ashurnasirpal II, with its giant stone depictions of winged guardians known as lamassu, as well as temples to deities Ninurta and Enlil.
But the area was captured by ISIL when the group swept across a swathe of northern Iraq in mid-2014.
The group views anything predating the Islamic era as idolatrous and has systematically destroyed and looted such ancient sites, as well as those belonging to religious minorities such as Christians and Yazidis, or of Islamic sects that don't correspondent with its beliefs.
ISIL reveled in this destruction. A propaganda video released at the time recorded the explosion from multiple angles, while other footage shot outside Ashurnasirpal II's palace showed ISIL fighters using cutting tools and sledgehammers to destroy friezes, drills and earth movers to tear apart statues
