In their latest affront against humanity, ISIS “bulldozed” the ancient Assyrian city in northern Iraq known as Nimrud with heavy military vehicles. In a move reminiscent of the destruction of the famed Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan by the Taliban, ISIS fighters looted the site prior to destroying the remains of the ancient city. United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization, also known as UNESCO, condemned the destruction of the site as a war crime and released a statement outlining their position early yesterday morning.
