Afghan officials have handed over 33 antique items which
were smuggled to the United States during the war to the National Museum.
Artifacts smuggled from Afghanistan to the US were returned

at $1.8 million, were seized from a New York-based art dealer between 2012 and
2014.
According to the New York Times, the artifacts were part of
a hoard of 2,500 objects valued at $143 million seized in a dozen raids between
2012 and 2014 from Subhash Kapoor, a disgraced Manhattan art dealer currently
jailed in India on smuggling and theft charges.
