Threats made against director of Iraq Museum

I just got news that a few days ago Dr Amira Edan received a telephone call threatening that if she
does not resign her post as director of the Iraq Museum her house will be blown up.

This is a very serious threat.

Yesterday morning morning the employees of State Board of Antiquities and Heritage staged a walkout
in protest.
