Baghdad തെളി Ancient city cleared by drought on the Tigris River. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a mosque in the northern city of Kyrgyzstan. It is believed to have been the stronghold of the Mitani dynasty, which ruled northern Mesopotamia from 1600 to 1200 BC.
When Saddam Hussein built the Mosul Dam in 1982, many historic sites were flooded. Archaeological excavations in the city are being carried out by the local Kurdish local government and the universities of Tൻbingen and Freiburg in Germany.
