Archeologists were told today to build a full-scale recreation of the iconic Arch of Triumph from the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra in London's Trafalgar Square to mark its liberation from ISIS.

Islamic State extremists have blown up the famous Arch of Triumph in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, the country's head of antiquities said Monday, as the jihadists press their campaign to tear down the treasured heritage site.
