The article "U.S. Set to Rebuild Iraq Banking System" (the Mercury News, etc.) has the following intriguing paragraph:
One vault was in the Central Bank, which had caught fire before the looting. By some accounts, it holds some of Iraq's most precious items: ancient gold artifacts that were taken from the National Museum. It may also contain an accounting of Iraq's nebulous debt burden and possibly records of Iraq's overseas deposits or hidden accounts.
