The Islamic State group has destroyed a priceless collection of statues and sculptures from the ancient Assyrian era, inflicting what an archaeologist described as incalculable damage.
A video posted by Islamic State on Feb. 26 showed men attacking the artifacts, some of them identified as antiquities from the 7th century B.C., with sledgehammers and drills, saying they were symbols of idolatry. (Reuters)
