asianews.it: Islamic State (IS) fighters yesterday blew up part of the Victory Convent, which belonged to the order of the Chaldean Sisters of the Sacred Heart, in Mosuls suburb of Alaraby, northern Iraq. The complex, which is located in front of the St Georgis Monastery, suffered major damages. The Iraqi government built the convent in 1984. The nuns who lived in the place provided help to elderly women and people with special needs. The St Georgis Monastery is still standing without any damages and reports about its destruction were inaccurate.
