The image of a mosque that may have been destroyed by Gadhafi loyalists may provoke angst in the Arab and Muslim world.<\/p>\n<p>A CNN team that was in Zawiya both before and after government forces retook the city confirmed the mosque served as a makeshift clinic as well as a rallying point and command center for the resistance.<\/p>\n<p>The mosque was badly damaged during fighting to retake the city, the CNN team reported.<\/p>\n<p><b>CNN&#8217;s Tommy Evans and John King contributed to this report.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><!--endclickprintinclude--><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n<!-- \/cnn_strybtmcntnt --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/cnn_strycntnt --><!-- \/cnn_strycntntrgt --><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/rss.cnn.com\/~r\/rss\/edition_africa\/~3\/yKGso_k4bDY\/index.html\" title=\"Satellite images appear to show destruction of Libya mosque\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Satellite images appear to show destruction of Libya mosque<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> STORY HIGHLIGHTS An intelligence source provided the images The source says they were taken a month apart The mosque served as a rebel command center Pro-Gadhafi forces retook Zawiya earlier this month (CNN) &#8212; Satellite images of a Libyan city, provided to CNN by an intelligence source, appear to show evidence that pro-Gadhafi forces razed a mosque that recently served as a rebel command center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-328149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
