Van Gogh Theft Update

The theft of Vincent Van Gogh's painting Vase And Flowers from the Mahmoud Khalil Museum (yesterday's post) has got the Egyptian fuzz hopping about like ring-tailed lemurs! Not only did they arrest two Italian tourists, but also they've collared the Egyptian government's head of fine arts and several other officials. According to Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, nine culture ministry employees have been barred from travelling, as part of the investigation into the theft.
