| Khaled Asaad, 82. i.huffpost.com |
Khaled Asaad, an 82 year-old archaeologist who had been in charge of overseeing the ancient site at Palmyra in Syria, was beheaded by ISIS militants. Dozens of people gathered to witness the killing of Asaad, who was hung from a column in the town's main square after being beheaded.
Syrian state antiquities chief Maamoun Abdulkarim said that Asaad was held captive for over a month and interrogated by members of ISIS before his murder. His captors had been trying to get secret information about where the town's treasures had been hidden, but Asaad kept that information from them, resulting in his death. ISIS is such a huge issue around the whole world today. Their brutality needs to be terminated as soon as possible because they are only getting stronger.
