Daily Mail, July 9, 2014
ISIS militants filmed taking sledgehammers
to tombstones in Mosul, Iraq
Donning balaclavas and black clothing, they
swung weapons into tombs
One grave belonged to Prophet Jonah,
revered by Muslims and Christians
Rebels believe special veneration of tombs is
against teachings of Islam
Comes as more than 50 bodies have been
found in city south of Baghdad
Most of the bodies were blindfolded with
gunshot wounds, said authorities
Investigation is underway to establish the
circumstances of the killings
This is the shocking moment ISIS militants
took sledgehammers to Iraqi tombstones –
smashing them to pieces.
The rebels, who are members of the Islamic
State terror group, were filmed attacking
centuries-old graves in the north-west city
of Mosul in Ninevah province.
Donning balaclavas and black coats, they
swung sledgehammers into the tombs,
causing pieces of dust and stone to fly
through the air.
One of the devastated tombstones belonged
to the Prophet Jonah (Younis in Arabic) and
was revered by Muslims and Christians alike,
according to Iraqi authorities.
The prophet, who is the central figure in the
Hebrew Bible’s Book of Jonah, is best known
for being swallowed by a fish or a whale,
depending on translation.
The attack is the latest in the ISIS’s violent
rampage across Iraq.
Earlier this week, a series of images emerged
showing the destruction of almost a dozen
Shia and Sunni religious shrines in Mosul,
Iraq’s second largest city, and the town of
Tal Afar, which is also currently under ISIS
