Title
Saved from militants, Timbuktu's famed manuscripts return home after 13 years in Mali's capital
Abstract
The Malian military government started returning home the historic manuscripts of Timbuktu, which were spirited out of their fabled northern city when it was occupied by al-Qaida-linked militants more than a decade ago. Islamic radicals destroyed more than 4,000 manuscripts, some dating back to the 13th century.
