BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s government is investigating reports that the ancient archaeological site of Khorsabad in northern Iraq is the latest to be attacked by the Islamic State militant group.
Adel Shirshab, the country’s tourism and antiquities minister, told The Associated Press there are concerns the militants will remove artifacts and damage the site, located 15 kilometers (9 miles) northeast of Mosul. Saeed Mamuzini, a Kurdish official from Mosul, told the AP that the militants had already begun demolishing the Khorsabad site on Sunday, citing multiple witnesses.

With the lonely exception of Wolf Blitzer, the utter destruction of priceless treasures has elicited little more than indiference from them
This is what gets to me - that the ISIS thugs may rape, burn and pillage endless numbers of Christians, Yazidis, Shi’ite Muslims, and other “dissident” Muslims, and never be held to account in the eyes of the world, but they start to destroy ancient artifacts, and NOW they are called out for the villains they are?
There is a mindset that must be utterly obliterated from the face of the earth. It would be vain to believe they would somehow cleanse the world of themselves. So maybe a little applied Darwinism?
Imagine if you will, if Iraq had chosen to extend the status of forces agreement. Now they can play the IS instead of the US.
why the hell aren’t we sending in air strikes against the ISIS elements that gather at these places to do this ?
We can make them all run like cockroaches , if we want to .
Susan Rice’s targeting control .....
I can’t wait to demolish mosques and burn korans.
What happened to the 400 US Marine trainers of Iraqi soldiers surrounded on a base by ISIS a few weeks ago....anyone know....?
Destroying ancient relics has usually spelled the end for those doing it, such as the Bamiyan statues in Afghanistan just before 9/11 and the demolition of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher that was the last straw before the Crusades.
I would go through Syria and northern Iraq and leave no sign animate or inanimate that Islam had ever been there. The 22nd Century should be made Islam-free.
We may want to but our elected leaders don’t.
Without boots on the ground, we don’t have the forward air controllers to identify targets. You need direct intelligence to accurately identify and target the bad guys.
Liberals only care about art, freedom of speech, freedom from a survaylance state, government oppression etc, when there is someone in the White House with a little R next to his name.
“What happened to the 400 US Marine trainers of Iraqi soldiers surrounded on a base by ISIS a few weeks ago”
The vaunted ISIS shock troops never somehow got around to attacking them,,, funny how that works.
Yeah, right? Where are all those tweedy, oh-so-elitist Leftie college professors and archaeologists who think conservatives are living relatives of neanderthals to raise a stink about this? It’s their bread and butter that’s being destroyed here. No more archaeological digs, no more archaeology chairs in universities and no more grant money to go to digs.
OK thanks.
Me, too. I’ve been all over the internet and haven’t been able to find anything about them.
Bttt
