Ancient sculptures that were missing for decades after being stolen during Lebanon's civil war are on display in Beirut once again.

This is thanks to a global fight against antiquities smuggling, a problem that has increased over the past 15 years since the invasion of Iraq, and the war in Syria.

As TRT World'sFrancis Collings reports, five marble statues were among a haul of hundreds that Lebanese militiamen took from a storehouse in the early 1980s.
