This combination of 3 images shows the stages of destruction of the Askariya Shrine in Samarra, Iraq.
From top to bottom: a Feb. 2004 photo of the shrine, the shrine in Feb. 2006 following an explosion
which destroyed its dome, and a Wednesday, June 13, 2007 view after insurgents blew up its two minarets.
Saboteurs blew up the two minarets of a revered Shiite shrine in Samarra early Wednesday, in a repeat
of the 2006 attack that shattered its famous golden dome and unleashed a wave of retaliatory sectarian
violence that still bloodies Iraq. (AP Photos)
