Somebody ripped off Moammar's coin collection

A gang of Libyan looters have raided a priceless collection of gold and silver coins
that are believed to date back to the time of Alexander the Great.

The thieves carried off with the pieces, known as The Treasure of Benghazi,
having drilled through a concrete ceiling at the National Commercial Bank of Benghazi.

An expert has described the raid as 'one of the greatest thefts in archeological history'.
