Iraqi Man Rescues Artifacts in Looted Antiquities Museum

By Good News Network Wednesday, April 09, 2003

Archives - Good Samaritans 1997-2003

33-year-old Iraqi pianist, Namir Ibrahim Jamil, watched looters in Baghdad ransacking the Museum of Antiquities and loaded up two full vans with precious artifacts. He lovingly stored them for 11 days until the building was secured for their return. More of the museum treasures are being recovered after Imams in local mosques broadcast appeals to looters for their return, "no questions asked".

Testimonials

When the war in Iraq started, I went into a depression state. I felt constantly worried and agitated and it was hard to enjoy doing things I loved to do. Then I found your site. It lifted my spirits and helped get me out of the funk I was in. Now I’m going to school and enjoying the things I like to do. - Camry V.
