BERMAN: New this morning, reports that ISIS is planting bombs and mines around the ancient ruins of Palmyra in Syria. "Reuters" says a London-based monitoring group is reporting on the ISIS tactic at one of the Middle East's most important historic sites. CNN's Ian Lee monitoring the situation for us. Good morning, Ian.</s>IAN LEE, CNN REPORTER: Good morning, Ian. We've seen increased activity around Palmyra, Tadmur in Arabic, over the past 48 hours. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reporting multiple airstrikes in and around this city, killing at least 10 people, including children. We're also hearing reports that the Syrian regime is building up its forces on the outskirts of the city in a bid to potentially retake it. Palmyra is strategically important as it sits on a crossroads leading to homes in Damascus. We don't know exactly why they're laying these mines. One reason could be they're preparing for a potential attack. This is a tactic we've seen them use successfully in Syria and Iraq. The other potential is that they're going to blow up this ancient site and unfortunately we've seen this as well in Syria and Iraq, John.</s>BERMAN: There is so much to go around in that part of the world right now. Ian Lee, thanks so much.</s>ROMANS: All right. Taylor Swift takes on Apple, and guess what? The tech giant bends over backwards to keep her happy. The power of what a pop star's Twitter account is next.</s>BERMAN: Yes, don't mess with Taylor Swift.
