PHOTOS: ISIS destroys 4th-century monastery eastern Mosul

[IraqiNews.com] On Thursday, Lions of Islam of the ISIS group blew up the Mar Behnam monastery which dates back to the 4th century in eastern djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
ISIS elements booby-trapped the monastery using bombs, after stealing all its contents in the district of Hamdania.

Mar Behnam monastery date back to the fourth century and was turned into the Syriac Catholics in the eighth century. It was restored and expanded in 1986.

The history of the monastery is linked to the story of Assyrian Prince Mar Behnam who converted into Christianity with his sister Sarah and 40 of his followers at the hands of the Syriac Orthodox Mar Matti. When his father King Sennacherib knew, he ordered to kill them all. He later regretted it and converted to Christianity and ordered to build the monastery to atone for his sin.
Let's hope it worked for King Sennacherib, because it looks like all that's left are the steps leading to the porch and some rubble.
