Iraq wants all US-stolen archeological treasures back 16 Jul 2012 Iraq says it wants back all the archeological treasures, stolen by US forces in 2003, but Washington has offered to return only half. Iraq rejected the offer made by the United States to bring back half of the Iraqi Jewish Archive, previously transferred from Baghdad to the United States during the US-led invasion of the country, insisting that Baghdad had to restore the whole archive, Iraqi newspaper al-Sabah reported on Sunday. "The archive includes centuries-old Torah scrolls and plenty of other documents in Hebrew, Arabic, and English."
