ISIS recapture of Palmyra: A fresh assault on heritage sites? Posted: 10 Dec 2016 02:59 PM PST The city's fall followed the ISIS seizure of several key government positions, oil fields and strategic hilltops over the course of a three-day campaign, and sparked concern for the well-being of civilians in a city where much of the population supports the Syrian government. Recommended: How much do you know about the Islamic State? The capture of Palmyra poses a setback to the US-allied coalition in a city that has particular historical and symbolic resonance. During their 10-month rule over the town, ISIS militants embarked upon a fit of iconoclasm, destroying several of Palmyra's famed world heritage sites, including two temples dating back nearly 2,000 years and a Roman archway, and executing the city's archeological director. |

Turkish air strikes kill 19 Kurdish militants in north Iraq - military sources Posted: 09 Dec 2016 10:36 PM PST Turkish jets carried out air strikes against Kurdish militants in the Gara region of northern Iraq on Friday and killed 19 militants, Turkish military sources said on Saturday. The warplanes took off from an air base in Diyarbakir in response to threats that the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants were preparing an attack on military units at the border, the sources said. Turkey frequently launches air attacks against PKK targets in the mountainous regions of northern Iraq near the Turkish border, where the Kurdish militant group's leadership has camps. |
