IS shows images of ancient Syrian temple destruction

Islamic State militants published photos on Tuesday purporting to show the destruction of a Roman-era temple in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, an act the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO has called a war crime.

The militants blew up the temple of Baal Shamin on Sunday, according to the Syrian antiquities chief, but had not published pictures until now. Reuters could not independently verify the images.Five photos were distributed on social media showing explosives being carried inside, being set around the walls of the temple, the large explosion and then rubble.
