Egypt teams with 25 nations to return antiquities
Egypt's antiquities chief has teamed up with 25 countries to press their campaigns to retrieve antiquities that were stolen and even those given as gifts, warning museums on Thursday that he would "make their lives miserable" if they refused his demands.
Zahi Hawass announced the expanded campaign at a news conference with officials from the US, Greece and Italy. By joining forces with other nations, he aims to add weight to an escalating campaign that even saw Egypt temporarily severing ties with the Louvre last year. (AP)
