Syria: Not just Tombstones


Members of a militant group - reportedly the Ansar Al-Deen Front (others mention too Jabhat Al Nusra, Ahrar el Sham) are pictured removing what seem to be human remains from the tomb of Sufi Sheikh Mohammed Nabhan (d. 1974) in the Old Quarter of Aleppo (see more here). They also disturbed the graves of his family and burnt many books, announcing that they were "removing edifices of polytheism".
