MOSUL, Iraq, March 5 (UPI) -- Islamic State militants used a bulldozer to damage the archaeological site of the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq, the country's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said.
"The terrorist gangs of ISIS are continuing to defy the will of the world and the feelings of humanity after they committed a new crime that belongs to its idiotic series," the ministry said on its Facebook page Thursday, The New York Times reported.
