    sábado, 10 de enero de 2015


    10 de enero de 2015, 12:31Damascus, Jan 10 (Prensa Latina) The
    historic St. Rita Cathedral, in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo,
    was damaged today by the impact of mortar shells launched by the
    Islamic Front, national TV stations reported today.

    Footage showed holes in the roofs and walls, as well as in the temple
    chapel belonging to Armenian Catholics.

    This week, the Islamic State blew up the al Rawi mosque in the Deir
    Ezzor province, as part of its systematic attacks against buildings of
    peoplo who oppose its radical and ultraconservative vision.

    Meanwhile, the al Nusra Front, a branch of Al Qaeda in Syria,
    demolished the sanctuary to Imam al Nawawi some days ago in the area
    of Nawa, Daraa.

    Armed groups have destroyed or damaged many religious monuments in
    Syria, including the Great Umayyad Mosque�Ã-s minaret in Aleppo, the
    Khalid Bin Al Walid mosque and the Umal Zennar Church in Homs, and the
    al Omari mosque�Ã-s minaret in Daraa.
