THE CONFLICT OVER THOSE IRANIAN CUNEIFORM TABLETS is covered briefly by the Times of London:

A SET of ancient Persian tablets is at the centre of a tug-of-war between Iran and the American victims of a suicide bombing.

Oddly, the Google News headline for the article is "Terrorist victims demand sale of ancient alphabet." Maybe someone told the Times that cuneiform texts are not alphabetic and they changed the headline. If so, I give them points for catching and correcting the error.

Also, Chuck Jones has e-mailed this link for more information on the Persepolis tablets.
