How sad! How sad!!! It breaks my heart to see this happening. Am so glad my husband & I got to Aleppo in 2007 & saw the souk, mosque & citadel, Palmyra and the Crac de Chevaliers before all this happened. Oh why oh why?? It was bad enough when the Buddas in Bamyan were destroyed-  my husband wept when he saw that happen on TV because he had climbed them in 1977. I am so pleased he is no longer with us to see this happening!
