(RFE/RL)

September 6, 2006 -- The UN's cultural body says Afghanistan's museum in exile will return home next year.


UNESCO said today that it considers Afghanistan prepared to take back some 1,200 artifacts that were taken out of the country between 1998 and 2001 to protect them from fighting.


The artifacts should be back in the country in the first half of 2007.
