of fucking vandals!"
Archaeologists and officials have expressed outrage about the bulldozing of the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud by Islamic State militants in Iraq.
IS began demolishing the site, which was founded in the 13th Century BC, on Thursday, according to Iraqi officials.
The head of the UN's cultural agency condemned the "systematic" destruction in Iraq as a "war crime".
IS, which controls large areas of Iraq and Syria, says shrines and statues are "false idols" that have to be smashed.
"They are erasing our history," said Iraqi archaeologist Lamia al-Gailani.
They've destroyed ancient shrines, burned books, so why not destroy a whole bloody site?

And do people think that they will not eventually come for the Louvre, or the British Museum, or the Smithsonian?
To say nothing of the cathedrals and synagogues?
And the UN calling something a "war crime" will, as always, do nothing to stop it.
Why do people persist in thinking the UN matters?
