BTW: This threat is a typical behavior in all Iraq and in line with
systematic threats the CIA / Occupants did after 2003 to destroy Iraq.
By such events 3 to 8 million Iraqis had left their homes either within Iraq or
outside the country.

I just got news that a few days ago Dr Amira Edan received a
telephone call threatening that if she does not resign her post as director of
the Iraq Museum her house will be blown up.
This is a very serious threat.
Yesterday morning morning the employees of State Board of Antiquities and
Heritage staged a walkout in protest.
Members of the press were present. We would all be grateful for further news
of these events.
