Iraq arrests 3 on antiquities charges – washingtonpost.com.
link leads to an ap article by Mazin Yahya. as usual in pieces about antiquities, the article fails to put the size of the black market trade in stolen art and looted antiquities into perspective. only the illegal trades in drugs and arms are larger.
the arrest and the number of artifacts still missing from the looting after Saddam Hussein’s fall are casually mentioned before the rest of the article deals with a completely unrelated roadside bombing.
