Speaking to ARA News in Kobane, Mustafa Abdi, the director of Radio ARTA.FM who was able to get access to the eastern areas of the city, said that the shrine of Sheikh Srouji, which dates back to hundreds of years in the town Sheran was completely destroyed by the IS myrmidons.
"They bombed the shrine before their expulsion by the Kurdish forces from the town," he added.
In the meantime, Kurdish sources reported that the mosque and shrine of the village of Korpinkar in southeastern Kobane had been blown up as well, in a move described by observers as a "hostile act" against the Islamic religion and places of worship.
Previously, the IS turbans destroyed most of the mosques and shrines in central Kobane, including the shrine and the historic statue of Sheikh Bob. |
