MOSUL –
The Iraqi army said Thursday the demolished historical mosque in Mosul to have taken up where Islamic State three years ago, ’the caliphate’ proclaimed.
The intake of the Great al-Nuri mosque is mainly of symbolic significance. The Iraqi army is already eight months to Mosul, the northern city that is the de facto capital of IS formed, to recapture.
Of the medieval mosque is not much more about. The extremists blew up the mosque and its distinctive’crooked minaret, a week ago.
