Museum theft of pharaoh's bracelet raises tourism fears

Egyptian authorities say a gold and lapis-lazuli bracelet once owned by Pharaoh Usermaatre Amenemope was stolen from the Egyptian Museum's restoration laboratory, melted down and sold for about $4,000 this month. Investigators tracked down and arrested the jewelers and foundry workers who handled the piece; the theft — committed by a specialist at the museum lab, according to reporting — has prompted security experts to warn tourists and offer travel-safety advice.
