Police save stolen Iraqi book worth £250,000

Charles Davis writes “from ‘The Guardian’
They Say While scores of Iraqi archaeological sites are still being looted and thousands of objects are missing from the national museum in Baghdad, a small book that survived 1,000 years of turbulent history is now safe at Scotland Yard – and will be returned.
The £250,000 book turned up in a London auction room last year, but auctioneers were suspicious and called police.”
