In a startling discovery, five large bombs were found concealed within the walls of the historic al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, a relic of ISIL’s (ISIS’s) brutal reign over the region. This finding highlights the ongoing challenges faced in clearing explosives and rebuilding war-torn areas of Iraq.
The al-Nuri Mosque, renowned for its 12th-century leaning minaret, was devastated by ISIL in 2017 during the battle to liberate Mosul. The mosque has been a key focus of the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO’s restoration efforts since 2020. On Tuesday, UNESCO announced the discovery of five large-scale explosive devices hidden inside the southern wall of the Prayer Hall.

This Day in History: , Terrorist Gunman Attacks Pulse Nightclub.
June 12, 2016.
49 people were killed in
the attack when 29-year-old
Omar Mateen entered the
club with an AR-15-type assault rifle.
Most of the casualties
of the attack were
members of the Orlando, FL,
LGBTQ community.
During the siege
on the club, Mateen
made a 911 call in which he
pledged his allegiance to ISIS.
At about 5am,
police stormed the club
and shot and killed Mateen.
Evidence shows that his
original target may have
been a Disney complex.
In 2018, Mateen's wife was found
not guilty of obstructing justice for
making contradictory
statements to the FBI
