      Two Grave Robbers Caught Looking for 'Hidden Treasure'


      Israel Antiquities Authority inspectors, along with local police, arrested two grave robbers near ancient tombs near the Church of Gethsemane on the slopes of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

      The two, in their twenties, were caught "red handed" Monday night as they were breaking into an ancient cave. They were apprehended while digging at the ancient site, which in their words was, "an attempt to locate hidden treasures."
