Indignation in the world after the destruction of priceless treasures from the pre-Islamic period filmed by jihadists in Iraq Mosul Museum. The Director General of UNESCO Irina Bokova had claimed Thursday a crisis meeting of the Security Council of the UN. And this Friday, it said it had sent a letter to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague. She denounced a "destructive fury." "This tragedy is far from just a cultural issue. This is a major security issue and we see well how terrorists use the destruction of heritage in a strategy of terror to destabilize and manipulate populations and to ensure their domination. "
The destruction in Iraq woke sad memories, those of the demolition of the Bamiyan Buddhas by the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. Archaeologists now fear that the Islamic State jihadi group also address the cities of Hatra, heritage site Unesco World and Nimrud in northern Iraq.
