This combination of two satellite images provided by DigitalGlobe, taken on March 31, 2011, top, and September 28, 2014, shows the site of the 1,400-year-old Christian monastery known as St. Elijah's, or Dair Mar Elia, on the outskirts of Mosul, Iraq. These satellite photos obtained by The Associated Press in January 2016 confirm what church leaders and Middle East preservationists had feared: The monastery has been reduced to a field of rubble, yet another victim of the Islamic State's relentless destruction.
