The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group began bulldozing the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in Iraq on Thursday, the government said, in the jihadists' latest attack on the country's historical heritage.
ISIS "assaulted the historic city of Nimrud and bulldozed it with heavy vehicles," the tourism and antiquities ministry said on an official Facebook page.
An Iraqi antiquities official confirmed the news, saying the destruction began after noon prayers on Thursday and that trucks that may have been used to haul away artefacts had also been spotted at the site.
"Until now, we do not know to what extent it was destroyed," the official said on condition of anonymity.
Nimrud, which was founded in the 13th century BC, lies on the Tigris around 30 kilometres (18 miles) southeast of Mosul, Iraq's second city and the main hub of IS in the country

Massive missile strike against ISIL captured on camera
http://www.9news.com.au/world/2015/03/09/20/04/massive-missile-strike-launched-against-isil
The camera filming the onslaught shakes from the reverberations of the discharge and a whirring sound fills the air in the strike on the terrorists’ position in the village of Albu-Ajeel in Salahuddin province in Iraq.
Far News, the Iranian news service which published the video online yesterday, says the group behind the attack is Al-Hashd al-Shaabi, Iranian-backed militias who have taken up the fight against ISIL, The Guardian reports.
It looks like Iraq will be annexed by Iran, and the Shiite hegemony will expand as a gift from Obama. Meanwhile the Saudi’s support ISIS.
Obama is looking some BAD internationally, a weak little psychopomp who has the intestinal fortitude of last years maggot. Our allies are shivering when confronted by North Korea, China or Russia. They do not approve of a weakened America.
WW III has begun.
Interesting political theory. Israels destruction is the prize?
Oh yes, it was given in advance.But now the Nobel Committee must be shivering in its collective boots, to have such a sophomoric prig working clearly to bring about WWIII under the guise of “peace.”
Pschopomp indeed. Rowing the entire Western world across the Styx. Its past time when anyone had any respect for Obama or the office itself. Its tarnished beyond measure.He needs to be attacked into resigning.
And will be amongst the first victims, ISIS has plans to destroy the black rock at Mecca, it's a remnant of idol worship. The snake will devour itself from the tail up.
So he won it fair and square and he can keep it, don’t you think?
The Nobel Committee, after all, didn’t give it to him for anything he had accomplished. They gave it to him in advance.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It is a source of tremendous humor to me personally , to think the Hussein Baraka was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on the installment plan, by a hopeful, hand ringing liberal Nobel Committee chair,shouldering the pretend guilt of millions of his allegedly racist, colonial forefathers.
Its a conditional sale of the Nobel Peace Prize, a chattel mortgage of an international award based upon a public promise of destruction of the so called neo-colonial West by its then newly nominated saintly psychopomp Baraka Hussein Obama.Champion of genocide and rapine jihadist orcs.
I am laughing as the genocidal flames of terror lick at the heels of the so called conscience of the liberal righteous in the middle east and in the USA. They have no conscience. They are worse than carrion beetles who have little or no use to the humanity they have cursed.
The Israeli election will now tell how this will go in the near term. Jehova is in either case, about to open a can of whoop-ass.Even the hobbits in New Zealand will not be safe.Surprisingly Russia is the only country that has its act together to face the coming music.
That’s how much is stinks, you got that right. Cockroaches have more ethics. The existence of something like islam amongst our species damns us all.
