And also it was the last time Mr. Baghdadi made his appearance in public.

The devastation of the mosque and minaret — which has commanded Mosul’s horizon for a considerable length of time and is envisioned on Iraq’s 10,000 dinar bank note — is another hit to the city’s rich social legacy and its plenty of antiquated destinations that have been damaged or destroyed during these 3 years of IS rule.

Pictures of before and after damage.

For residents of Mosul and the individuals who think about Iraq’s history, the devastation was yet another painful loss, after many years of the Islamic State viciously deleting an area’s history.

This act is absolutely horrendous. It absolutely proves the fact that Terrorism is terrorism and we definitely cannot associate it with any religion, culture or group of indigenous people. No matter how much the mainstream media or any leaders try to portray them that way. They shouldn’t even be regarded as Human after this atrocious act.

Few are saying that US air force has blew down the historic Al-Nuri Mosque. We have to wait and see to know who is responsible for the destruction.
