According to reports, the Takfiri terrorists used explosives to raze to the ground the Mar Behnam monastery, built by Assyrian King Sinharib in the fourth century and located in the Christian-dominated town of Bakhdida, 32 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of the northern city of Mosul.
The monks residing in the ancient building were forced to leave the site. The monks fled the town and took refuge in neighboring Christian villages.
The Takfiri group has destroyed numerous ancient sites belonging to Assyrians in Iraq.
