US Army's 1st Armored Division soldiers stand guard at the new exhibition of Iraqi treasures in the National Museum in Baghdad, on Thursday, July 3, 2003. The Iraqi National Museum briefly opened its doors to the press Thursday. Looting at the museum provoked an international outcry after Baghdad fell on April 9, but U.S. occupation authorities say many of the museum's most important items including the world-famous treasures of Nimrud have been accounted for. Still, scores of items remain missing, said museum director Donny George. The museum won't open to the public for about two years, George said. (AP Photo/Mikhail Metzel)
