How convenient of you Fred to forget the modern history of Barittla. In your article you mention the following list of disasters; ..........1261 and 1369 (1373), Kurds attacked Mar Mattai Monastery and every time they killed more monks and plundered the monastery. The effect of these attacks reached Bartella as well. In 1738, the Persian king sent his army under Nargis Khan to Assyria where he destroyed many villages in Nineveh plain. In 1743, Persian Nadir Shah destroyed additional villages after besieging and entering Kirkuk and Arbil. He attacked Bartella, killed many men and took many young men, girls and women away. In 1756, 1757, and 1758 a great famine swept Bartella and many traveled to Kirkuk and other Persian towns to purchase new grain, where they faced plunder and robbing at the hands of Kurds. In 1789, Bartella was plundered again by Jolu Beg bin Bdagh, the Emir of Shikhan, during his war with the Arab Emir Mohammad bin Hasan al-Taa'i. And stop there. You do not include the latest history of Baritlla probably because it was not in an index. Anyway allow me to do that for you. On the 31st of March Assyrians in Chicago proudly rallied to support the war in Iraq, backing the invasion of their homeland and supporting the US troops.[1] In a display of “instant-karma” and on the very same day of the Chicago rally Mosul, the ancient Assyrian capital of Nineveh (Mosul), was attacked by a B-52 air strike using missiles paid for by Assyrian-American taxpayers. The attack on the village of Bartilla in Mosul, was originally reported by Al-Jazeera as killing 20, but actually killed 21 and injured more than 70 Assyrians.[2] One of the most well known victims is none other than Majdolin Yonan.[3] References ---------- 1.
