Syria's ancient city of Palmyra
Paris - Arab Today

“This destruction is a new war crime and an immense loss for the Syrian people and for humanity,” Irina Bokova, director general of the UN cultural agency, said in a statement following reports that IS destroyed Palmyra's tetrapylon monument and the facade of the city's Roman amphitheatre.
