Artefacts stolen by ISIL from Mosul museum recovered

Eight artifacts, stolen by Islamic State from Mosul museum, have been recovered after a displaced family returned them to police, an official said. “A displaced family found pivotal artifacts as [they] returned back to [their] house in al-Zanjili district. The relics were returned back to Federal Police elements deployed there,” Moss’ab Jassim, head of Nineveh monuments department, told Baghdad Today on Sunday. The artifacts, according to Jassim, “were stolen by IS from Mosul museum while the city was under the group’s control.”
