5月21日，叙利亚国家博物馆馆长马蒙·阿卜杜勒－卡里姆说，他为叙历史古城台德穆尔（又名巴尔米拉）的遭遇感到痛心和担忧，呼吁国际社会尽快采取行动拯救古城。据报道，台德穆尔20日被极端组织“伊斯兰国”攻陷。

Islamic State group jihadists seized Syria's Palmyra on Thursday, as UNESCO warned that the destruction of the ancient city would be "an enormous loss to humanity". The capture of Palmyra, a 2,000-year-old metropolis, reportedly leaves more than half of Syria under IS control and comes days after the group also expanded its control in Iraq.
