Armed groups have been digging for ancient artifacts at the Garza archeological site in Fayoum, said eyewitnesses. Watchmen guarding the area said the armed groups came to the site several times at night with automatic weapons, forcing them to leave the area so that they could dig and search for artifacts.
The watchmen complained that the small number of watchmen and their inadequate weapons facilitates made it difficult to protect such archeological sites.
