One of Iraq's tourist destinations

My little twin girls had been looking at a travel book recently and they were fascinated with the spiral minaret in Samarra. They wanted to travel there and climb up it (once the war was over). However, it looks as though it's been badly damaged in recent fighting after having survived quite a bit in the past.
