Only a weak Alberta Clipper storm will swing through the Great Lakes region with clouds and snow showers. Much of the snow will fail to accu- mulate on paved surfaces during the middle of the day. Clouds and rain are in store for South Florida and the Keys. Clouds will gather over coastal and South Texas with rain likely to follow later in the weekend. Warmth that has been building over the West will continue to spill onto the Great Plains. Temperatures will rebound from their frigid start in the Midwest and East.

Nimrud, a nearly 3,000-year-old city in pres- ent-day Iraq, included mon- umental statues of winged bulls, bearded horsemen and other winged figures, all symbols of an ancient Mesopotamian empire in the cradle of Western civ- ilization. The discovery that ex- tremists removed some statues before using heavy equipment to destroy much of the site Thursday was cold comfort as outrage spread over the extremists' latest effort to erase history. United Nations Secre- tary-General Ban Ki-Moon considers the destruction a war crime, his spokesman said in a statement. Iraq's most revered Shi- ite cleric, the Grand Ayatol- lah Ali al-Sistani, said in his Friday sermon that the ex- tremists are savaging Iraq, "not only in the present but also to its history and an- cient civilizations." "I'm shocked and speech- less," said Zeid Abdullah, who lives in nearby Mo- sul and studied at the city's Fine Arts Institute until the extremists shut that down. "Only people with a crimi- nal and barbaric mind can act this way and destroy an art masterpiece that is thousands of years old." A farmer from a nearby village told the AP Friday that militants began car- rying tablets and artifacts away from the site two days before the attack, which be- gan Thursday afternoon. The militants told the vil- lagers that the artifacts are idols forbidden by Islam and must be destroyed, the farmer said, speaking anonymously for fear of re- prisals. But the group also is known to have sold off looted antiquities as a source of revenue. Some statues were "put on big trucks, and we don't know where they are, pos- sibly for illicit trafficking," UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova said. UN officials have seen images of destroyed Assyr- ian symbols including stat- ues with the head of a man, the torso of a lion and wings of an eagle. These symbols were referred to in the Bi- ble and other sacred texts, she said. "All of this is an appalling and tragic act of human de- struction," she said. UN officials were study- ing satellite imagery of the destruction, since it remains too dangerous to approach the site, she said. These violent Sunni ex- tremists have been cam- paigning to purge an- cient relics they say pro- mote idolatry that violates their interpretation of Is- lamic law. A video they released last week shows them smashing artifacts in the Mosul museum and in January, the group burned hundreds of books from the Mosul library and Mosul University, in- cluding many rare manu- scripts. Many fear Hatra, another nearby ancient site could be next. Iraqi authorities were still trying to assess Fri- day exactly how badly the ancient site was damaged Thursday. "The destruction of Nim- rud is a big loss to Iraq's his- tory," Qais Mohammed Ra- sheed, the deputy tourism and antiquities minister, told The Associated Press on Friday. "The loss is irre- placeable." Nimrud, also known as Kalhu, was the 9th century B.C., capital of Assyria, an ancient kingdom that swept over much of present-day Iraq and the Levant. The site spans 3.3 square kilo- meters on the Tigris River, and boasted the remains of temples, palaces and a zig- gurat pyramid as well as the huge statues.
