A plume of smoke rises as Iraqi elite counterterrorism forces fight Islamic
State militants to regain control of the Quds neighborhood of Mosul, Iraq, on
Friday, Dec. 30, 2016. Iraqi government forces launched a large-scale
offensive in mid-October to retake Mosul, the last major urban center held
by the extremist group in Iraq. The offensive, however, had stalled about two
months later because of the presence inside Mosul of some one million
civilians, stiff IS resistance and the lack of urban warfare experience among
some Iraqi units. (AP Photo/ Khalid Mohammed)

This 1949 photo taken by British mystery author Agatha Christie shows a statue of a lamassu,
a winged bull from Assyrian mythology who guarded the royal court from evil, at the ancient
site of Nimrud, near modern day Mosul, Iraq. Christie had a little-known link to Nimrud: She
accompanied her husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan, as he excavated the onetime
capital of the Assyrian Empire, and she assisted by piecing together some artifacts and
chronicling the dig in photos and film. (Agatha Christie via AP)

winged bull deities called lamassu stand at the entrance to Palace of Assurnasipal II at the

and returned in May or June. To her it was just as important as writing,” says her grandson,
Mathew Prichard. (Agatha Christie via AP)
