過激派組織IS(イスラム国)に制圧されたシリア中部の都市パルミラで、5月20日以降少なくとも400人の住民が殺害されたとシリア国営テレビが報じた。イギリスの「ガーディアン」紙によると、大半は女性や子供だという。

イギリスのテレビ局「スカイニュース」によると、パルミラ市内の通りには多くの死体が散乱し、いくつかは首が切断されているという。

イギリスの「インディペンデント」紙によると、殺害された住民の中には、パルミラ市立病院の看護部長とその家族全員を含む国家公務員が数多くいる。

ISはネット上に動画を公開し、兵士が政府庁舎を捜索したり、掲げられているアサド大統領の肖像画を引きずり下ろしたりしている様子を伝えた。

パルミラは人口およそ5万人で、ダマスカスの北東約230キロの砂漠地帯にあり、古代ローマ時代の神殿跡や列柱、円形劇場などが残り、ユネスコ(国連教育科学文化機関)の世界遺産(文化遺産)に登録されている。ISは制圧した20日以降、パルミラ遺跡の城壁にISの黒い旗を掲げている。これまでのISの行動から、パルミラ遺跡も破壊される恐れがある。

Syria.\n\nPalmyra was in the ancient times an important city of central Syria, located in an oasis 215 km northeast of Damascus and 120 km southwest of the Euphrates. It has long been a vital caravan city for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The Greek name for the city, Palmyra (ΠαλμÏÏα), is a translation of its original Aramaic name, Tadmor, which means \'palm tree\'. Tadmor (in Arabic تدÙر) is today the name of a small city next to the ruins, heavily dependent on tourism.\n\nIn the mid-first century A.D., Palmyra, a wealthy and elegant Syrian city located along the caravan routes linking the Parthian Iran with the Mediterranean ports of Roman Syria and Phoenicia, came under Roman control. During the following period of great prosperity, the Aramaean citizens of Palmyra adopted customs and modes of dress from both the Iranian Parthian world to the east and the Graeco-Roman west.\n\nInfor and reading more at:\nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra (credit:Hovic/Flickr)

Heritage site: Site of Palmyra, Syrian Arab Republic\nOne of many fabulous historic sites in Syria. Every day, taxis take groups of people up to the Arab castle that overlooks the Roman city, to watch the sunset. The view is great , the castle is largely intact and loads of fun to run around, and the colours, best seen when looking in the opposite direction from this picture, are stunning. But the really memorable thing about Palmyra, and, indeed, the rest of Syria was the friendliness and hospitality of the people there. (credit:Neil and Kathy Carey/Flickr)
