Egyptian embassy retrieves stolen antiquities

http://www.sis.gov.eg/online/html12/o250225f.htm
"The Egyptian Embassy in London yesterday received seven pieces of antiquities that date back to the pre-dynasty era from Bonham after intensive contacts with the British authorities and the auction hall officials". I assume that this refers to the auction house Bonham's. The items were apparently stolen from Cairo in 2002.
