Syrian museum looted, 6 Roman-era statues disappear

Six ancient Roman-era statues have been stolen from the national museum in the Syrian capital, Damascus, leading to the temporary closure of the facility, officials said yesterday.

The museum reopened in January as the country recovered from a 14-year civil war and the fall of the 54-year rule of the al-Assad family last year.

The country's largest museum houses priceless antiquities. Despite security measures, including metal gates and surveillance cameras installed after the war began, thieves managed to get inside the facility.

An official from Syria's General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums said the robbery took place on Sunday evening and was discovered when one of the doors in the classical department was found broken.

The police chief in Damascus, Brigadier General Osama Atkeh, later said that several statues and rare collectibles had been stolen from the museum.

The section of the museum where the statues were reported stolen is a beautiful and historically rich department with objects dating back to the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods.

The robbery comes just weeks after thieves disguised as construction workers stole a number of jewels from the French crown jewels collection at the Louvre museum in Paris.

The jewels, worth an estimated 88 million euros (77.5 million pounds), once belonged to monarchs including Napoleon III and his wife Eugenie. The thieves raided the museum during opening hours and the robbery lasted less than eight minutes.
