“This latest barbaric act of blowing up a historic Islamic site adds to the annals of Daesh’s crimes against Islamic, Iraqi and human civilization. The destruction by the hands of Daesh of this mosque, where the leader of Daesh declared the so-called Caliphate, as the Security Forces closed in on the remaining Daesh terrorists in Mosul, shows their desperation and signals their end,” Mr. Kubiš said.
