Geneva: A 4,000-year-old clay tablet has been pulled from eBay minutes before the close of an online auction because the authorities suspect it was smuggled illegally from Iraq. An archaeologist spotted the tablet with cuniform script on the website and alerted police. The seller, from Zurich, faces prosecution.
