ARSONS TORCH LIBRARY
Al-Mashriq
An anonymous official yesterday said unknown people burned a library in
Nasiriya which contained about 4 ,000 invaluable books. Director of
Relics Abdul Ameer al-Hamadani said unknown people set fire to the
library which was completely destroyed. "The library contains 3,900
invaluable books some of which are classified as archaeological," said
al-Hamadani. (Al-Mashriq is published daily by Al-Mashriq Institution
for Media and Cultural Investments.)
