Some of the art stolen from Iraq’s National Museum is beginning to turn up after appeals in Baghdad. “Officials are using tips from citizens to hunt down stolen items, and trying to prevail on thieves to turn them in voluntarily. Muslim clerics, at the officials’ urging, have announced over mosque loudspeakers that anyone with looted items should return them to museum curators, no questions asked. U.S. reconstruction officials said they plan to air similar messages on Iraqi radio stations starting tonight. ‘It’s already working. I’ve heard from our friends that a number of objects were collected in mosques in the neighborhood after appeals from the imams of the mosques’.”
