Restored artifacts to be put in Egyptian Museum

Culture Minister Farouk Hosni has decided to put recently restored stolen antiquities from the United States at the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo. Egypt received in 2006 a tip about the sale of the artifacts to a U.S. antiquities dealer in the Maadi district. The dealer, identified as Edward George Johnson, managed to smuggle them out of Cairo Airport but was arrested by US federal authorities following a demand from Egypt.
