Imam Ali b. Muhammad al-Hadi (a): Difference between revisions

In recent years, some attacks have been made on his shrine by extremist [[Salafi]] and [[Takfiri]] groups. The most destructive of these attacks, was the one made on [[February 22]], 2006, for which [[al-Qaida]] claimed responsibility. It was made by placing 200 kg explosives in the center of the dome which destroyed the minarets of the shrine as well. About two years later, on [[June 13]], 2007, the second attack on his shrine caused the full destruction of the remaining minarets. Again on [[June 6]], 2014, [[ISIS]] made another vast attack towards [[Samarra]] toward the shrines of Imam al-Hadi (a) and [[Imam al-'Askari (a)]] which was blocked by people, the defenders of the shrine, and security forces of [[Iraq]].
