Iraqi Museum set to reopen after looting
Baghdad: The National Museum in Iraq is set to re-open, nearly six years after it was looted in the aftermath of the 2003 US-led invasion.
Many of its antiquities were stolen at that time, and only a small proportion have been retrieved.
Indonesia: A string of attacks by rare Sumatran tigers has left six people dead in Indonesia in less than a month.
The victims were killed in Sungai Gelam, a district some 375 miles from the country's capital, Jakarta.
