Dear colleagues,

Please be advised that as a consequence of an eventual armed conflict in
Iraq museums may be subject of pillage and looting. Thus, we would be
grateful if you could be vigilant with respect of art objects
originating from Iraq offered for sale or reported to be stolen.

Thank you in advance for your co-operation in this matter.
