CAIRO - A panel commissioned by the Government to take stock of artefacts at presidential palaces revealed that no pieces were missing, quashing earlier reports that more than 4,200 artefacts were stolen. Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass ordered the formation of a panel to record the contents of presidential palaces. Mahmoud Abbas, the panel's head, has said that his team is about to finish its work and expects to submit a final report to Hawass within hours. “All the contents of the palaces surveyed are typical of those listed in he ministry's records,” Abbas said. He added that the panel made an inventory of the contents of 18 presidential palaces in Cairo and Alexandria, as well as presidential residencies in Alexandria, Mersa Matrouh, Ismailia, Aswan and Cairo.
