| Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) Iraq has foiled an attempt to smuggle antiquities worth millions of dollars to ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... , its interior ministry said on Saturday. The ministry’s general inspector said in a statement, quoted by Alforatnews, that ministry teams in Kirkuk blocked the transfer of scriptures and antiquities worth USD13 million to Turkey, which were in the possession of two people. Those, the statement revealed, included scriptures and a bust. It added that the suspects confessed to agreeing with another party in Turkey on the handover of the pieces. They said they were also expecting to receive more items while waiting at the Iraq’s archaeological sites sustained severe damage when Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... hard boyz occupied a third of the country to proclaim a self-styled Islamic "caliphate". The hard boyz had filmed themselves axing down priceless statues in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and other areas as they considered statues as pagan representations at odds with their krazed killer religious codes. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... later reports told that hard boyz turned to selling antiquities to fund the group’s operations. |
