U.S.-Led Soldiers Said to Damage Babylon

U.S.-Led Soldiers Said to Damage Babylon

By SUE LEEMAN
Associated Press Writer

LONDON (AP) -- U.S.-led troops using the ancient Iraqi city of Babylon as a base have damaged and contaminated artifacts dating back thousands of years in one of the world's most important archaeological sites, the British Museum said Saturday.

For example, military vehicles crushed a 2,600-year-old brick pavement, and archaeological fragments, including broken bricks stamped by King Nebuchadnezzar II around the same time, were scattered across the site, a museum report said.
