IS smadrer triumfbue i historisk by i Syrien

According to media reports on 05 October 2015, militants of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS or IS) have blown up Palmyra's ancient Arch of Triumph. Few months ago, the jihadist group blew up the 2, 000-year-old Temple of Bel, the Baalshamin Temple and some of the famed tower tombs in Palmyra, a UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site. Islamic State extremist militia, which controls large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq, has been reportedly destroying building sites with no religious meaning, including the Arch of Triumph. Palmyra, some 240km (150 miles) northeast of Damascus, emerged to become a powerful state after the Romans took control, serving as a link between the ancient Orient and Mediterranean countries.
