Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] 700 years old shrines being destroyed in Timbuktu
The UN cultural body UNESCO has watched in horror as Mali Islamic
fundamentalists ravaged fabled Timbuktu shrines it had listed as
endangered sites just last Thursday.
'I call on all the members of the (UNESCO) committee, who

sadness and concern for the survival of this important World
Heritage property,'
