ISIS wiping out the history of Syria and Iraq

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/03/09/world/iraq-isis-heritage/  

 The temple of Baalshamin in Palmyra, Syria, seen in a file image dating back to 1960. ISIS <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/24/middleeast/syria-isis-palmyra-ruins-temple/index.html">militants are reported to have rigged the ruins</a> with large quantities of explosives before detonating them. The timing of the blast is uncertain -- the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says it happened sometime in late July/early August.
