Iraq receives 1,300 artifacts from Jordan
2019-02-03
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi received on Saturday 1,300 ancient artifacts that had been smuggled into Jordan.

"Such ancient pieces do not belong to Iraq alone, but they belong to humanity as a whole... their retrieval is of great importance to Iraq and Jordan," Abdul Mahdi said

The handover ceremony was held during a meeting between Abdul Mahdi and his Jordanian counterpart Omar Razzaz on the joint border over the implementation of cooperation protocols and inauguration of the joint industrial zone.

He further extended thanks to Razzaz for his efforts to seize these artifacts and bring them back to Iraq.

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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
murderous Moslems have looted and destroyed several ancient sites in Iraq and Syria as part of its campaign to cleanse the territory it controls of items the murderous Moslems deem as non-Islamic.
