US returns Iraq's stolen artefacts

US returns Iraq's stolen artefacts

Ancient artefacts have been handed back to Iraq, after they were falsely labelled and smuggled into the United States.

The US arts-and-crafts retail chain Hobby Lobby bought nearly 4,000 pieces.

It is believed they were destined for a Christian museum, which is closely linked to the Hobby Lobby retail chain.

Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher reports from Washington, DC.
