Amaq agency, which is one of the media wings affiliated with Daesh, has released a new video that displays a number of terrorists demolishing ancient statues and artifacts detected west of Abu Kamal city in southeastern part of Deir Ezzor province:

Obliterating historical heritage is nothing new for Daesh as many ancient monuments and buildings were earlier destroyed by terrorists in Nineveh province of Iraq and in Syrian city of Palmyra.

Militants specifically aim at statues, busts and any other images of people and animals, since Wahhabi ideology, which is the core basis of Daesh organization, considers all those “haram” (forbidden and sinful).
