Sounds painful. Pray continue...
No charges had been filed but it was apparent the theft was carried out by crooks people inside the embassy, the sources said. A team from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry arrived in Sanaa to help in the investigation. A similar theft occurred at the Iraqi embassy in Beijing.
