Colonel Matthew Bogdanos is the person that has been leading the U.S. government’s investigation into the theft and looting of the Iraqi museum in Baghdad and gives his his interim report in this briefing. He says 30 exhibits from the main gallery, 30 display- quality, irreplaceable pieces, are still missing from the museum. Another 16 pieces were damaged, most notably, the Golden Harp of Ur. In total, the number of artifacts now known to be missing from the museum stands at slightly over 10,000. As it has for over the last five months, this number will change on a daily basis.
