A SMALL RAY OF HOPE?

The New York Times reports

American archaeologists said that they had lost contact with their Iraqi colleagues in recent weeks. The last they had heard was that several antiquities officials and researchers had barricaded themselves in the Baghdad museum. They had hidden some of the most precious artifacts elsewhere, and protected others with sandbags.


My emphasis. Let's hope that at least the hidden items are still secure.
