Islamic State militants have blown up the Arch of Triumph, a major monument in the 2,000-year-old Roman city of Palmyra, Syria's antiquities chief said on Sunday, after they destroyed two ancient temples at the central Syrian site in recent months.
Maamoun Abdulkarim told Reuters that sources in Palmyra had confirmed that the Arch of Triumph, a jewel in the exquisite collection of ruins in the oasis city, had been blown up.
Islamic State militants have blown up temples at the Roman-era UNESCO World Heritage site, which it has controlled since capturing Palmyra from Syrian government forces in May and mined other monuments and historic buildings. The group considers the buildings sacrilegious.

For every historic site that is damaged or destroyed, destroy 10 mosques.
Annihilation - the world may not be ready to annihilate Islam but give it a few more devasting years of death and everyone will be in agreement.
I am sorry the world needs more proof. Heartbreaking this diversity. Diversely devastating!
SICK.
soebarkah IS a destroyer. An enemy islamist, he’s never built anything in his wretched life.
After Aurelian captured Zenobia he heard the Palmyrans had rose and killed the Governor and the Roman force. He returned to Palmyra and destroyed the city and massacred the population.
At least Aurelian didn’t destroy the arch, if it was indeed put up by Septimius Severus.
Maybe Aurelian spared it because it was a symbol of the Roman empire (or republic, as they persisted in calling it).
Historians in the future (if there are any) will shake their heads at how such a zero got to be president.
I’m pretty sure Aurelian’s purpose to hammer down insurrection. Leaving the arch would definitely leave that message.
Animals.
I hate those guys. These aren’t national treasures; they are world treasures they are destroying.
I don’t doubt it.
They only go after the easy ones to destroy. Let’s see them destroy the Pyramids. I dare ‘em.
Effing savages. Kill them all.
