Reuters  (February 6, 2009)
A 2,000-year-old manuscript in Syriac, a dialect thought to have been  
spoken by Jesus, was found after police raided the house of a  
suspected antiquities smuggler. Experts have not yet reached a  
consensus on whether this, along with a small figurine, is an  
original or a fake, or whether they date back as far as 2,000 years.  
Nine people have been charged with smuggling, illegal excavation and  
possession of explosives.
