ISIS Left the Ancient Roman City of Palmyra in Ruins After Bombing It Last Year

(The Independent) A mass grave containing the bodies of Women and children has been uncovered in the ancient Roman city of Syria Palmyra, a former ISIS stronghold.

Syrian state media has reported the grim discovery of at least 40 bodies, some beheaded, other showing signs of brutal torture as troops loyal to Bashar al-Assad, continued their work after driving ISIS  Jihadists out.

The news reports has linked the discovery to a massacre documented in May 2015 when ISIS fascists were reported to have slaughtered more than 400 mostly Women and children in Palmyra just two days after capturing the ancient Roman city.

On the 24 June, 2015 I published before and after pictures here of Palmyra after ISIS destroyed the city by planting mines and bombs amid the the ancient Roman ruins. Unexploded mines and bombs litter the area–more than 3000 mines have so far been dismantled with the help of Russian bomb specialists.

“They booby-trapped everything trees, doors and animals,” said a Syrian officer.

In related news, the Daily Mirror Online reports British Prime Minister David Cameron fears that ISIS could launch a terrorist attack as they’ve done recently in Paris and Belgium but instead use radioactive ‘dirty bombs’ and drop them from drones, unleashing panic and death upon civilians.

In June, 2015 NY Daily News reported that ISIS Jihadists had looted radioactive chemicals from government labs during their rampage across Iraq and Syria, hoping to build a radioactive device according to Australian Intelligence officials — likewise in July 2014, Iraq’s U.N. Ambassador confirmed that ISIS had ransacked labs at a university in Mosul (after Obama ‘Cut-n-Run’, I digress) stealing uranium and more than 2000 sarin-nerve gas filled rockets.
