Incomplete mosque in Baghdad, Iraq.
About
The Al-Rahman Mosque in Baghdad, was intended to be one of the largest mosques in Iraq. It was begun by Saddam Hussein in 1998, but work was cut short during the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and it was never completed and only its skeleton remains. After the United States' occupation of Iraq, Shi'ite militias took control of Al-Rahman Mosque and used the surrounding lands as a parking lot.
