Scandalous and tragic. Who could imagine sending objects back to these people? Their proper place is where they will be best looked-after.
The Syrian regime has bombed an ancient castle listed by Unesco as a world heritage site as it tried to root out rebel fighters who recently captured the town, according to reports. Government helicopters are thought to have been targeting the southern Syrian town of Busra Sham, classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site for its historic citadel, ruins and well-preserved Roman theatre. It was once the capital of the Roman province of Arabia and a stopover on caravan routes to Mecca. Photographs shared on activists' social media pages show significant damage to pillars inside the castle".
