PARIS (AN) — UNESCO announced its US$100 million plan to reconstruct northern Iraqi city of Mosul's heritage will get underway next year.
The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization on Wednesday laid out the restoration timetable for the famed 12th-century al-Nuri mosque destroyed by the Islamic State group.
The timetable for the mosque's leaning minaret, one of Mosul's most famous landmarks, was decided at a meeting between the United Nations agency's director-general Audrey Azoulay, Iraq's culture minister Abdulamir al-Dafar Hamdani, and Mosul’s regional governor Mansour al-Mareed.
