Iraq is determined to recover all antiquities that were stolen after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, the official al-Sabah newspaper reported Tuesday.

"The board is determined to recover the first and last Iraqi artifact smuggled abroad, and we will not give up a single piece of it, regardless of its size and importance," said Laith Hussein, head of the State Board of Antiquities and Heritage of the Culture Ministry.

There is international cooperation in recovering the antiquities that were looted and stolen from the archaeological sites and the Iraq Museum in Baghdad. Hundreds of lawsuits are filed by the ministry outside Iraq on stolen artifacts.
