Blundering diplomats destroy $US10m whale fossil - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "European diplomats in four-wheel drives have caused millions of dollars worth of damage to a fossilised whale lying for millions of years in the Egyptian desert, a security source said.
'Whale Valley officals have informed the authorities that people from two diplomatic corps vehicles destroyed the fossil,' the source told AFP after the destruction was discovered around 150 kilometres south of Cairo.
Two cars drove into the protected area on Friday and then refused to stop when asked to do so by wardens who nevertheless got the vehicles' registration numbers which the source said were from 'a European country.'"
