If you blink during the video, you might miss the moment Jonah's tomb in Mosul, Iraq, explodes.
The first few frames show the revered shrine towering over its landscape. There's a sudden burst of dust, fire and smoke.
Then, nothing.
CNN could not immediately confirm the authenticity of the video, which was posted to YouTube.
The holy site is thought to be the burial place of the prophet Jonah, who was swallowed by a whale or fish in both the Islamic and Judeo-Christian traditions.
Militants belonging to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, planted explosives around the tomb and detonated the explosion remotely Thursday, civil defense officials there told CNN.

I saw a you tube of the ISIS bass turds sledge hammering it, supposedly
Abominable, disgusting, a total travesty.
And where is Barack Soebarkah? FUNDRAISING?! I HATE this usurper!!!!!! He is undoubtedly the most feckless world leader in the history of humankind. Neville Chamberlain X 100000
Just damn.
Only Scum of the earth would do this.
Well, they know the Iraqis are too timid to take back their country, the American regime is busy with its collective head up its ass, and Europe is typically paralyzed in its own apathy.
Thus, ISIS can act with total impunity.
Well, by the time the long term rolls around, all the Christians will be dead and everything Holy will be blown to smithereens. Sometimes you have to fight the fire before you worry about installing sprinkler systems.
And you can be damned sure ISIS isn't worried about inclusiveness.
I believe we better get ready to suffer more loss and some of it much closer to home.
Well, the tomb was apparently built on top of some Assyrian ruins; and archaeologists could never dig at the site because the mosque was there. Now that is (or will be) changed.
And—hence—maybe some real info about Jonah might turn up.
Somewhere Obama is smiling.
Undoubtedly.
We have the capability to CARPET BOMB Isis into the stone age, but who expect Obama to take on his friends?
The mid-eastern klansmen’s jihad advances relentlessly. Paleo-nazis cleansing their lands. History unfolding and evidences of an alternative ideology wiped out forever.

That did not look like an ancient building to me. It had a tower that looked like a Islamic Minaret which hardly could be ancient. I betting it was a Shiite Mosque
Jonah stayed in Nineveh? I thought he hated the place.
“some real info about Jonah might turn up”
The facts are in The Book.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7
Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27
