thetimes.co.uk - Islamic State has released a video showing militants razing the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq.
Jihadists are seen hacking at monuments with sledgehammers before blasting through the remains of the 3,000-year-old city with explosives in footage suggesting that that the site was completely levelled.
The terror group was reported last month to be using heavy vehicles to bulldoze the city, which lies southeast of modern-day Mosul, but the release of the undated video last night shows the extent of the devastation.
