Report: Peru to sue Yale for Inca artifacts

Peru has reportedly approved a plan to sue Yale University for thousands of Inca artifacts excavated decades ago by a US scholar at Machu Picchu. State newspaper El Peruano said Sunday the Justice Ministry will assign a prosecutor to press the government's case against the New Haven, Conn. university. It did not say when or where such a suit would be filed. Government officials could not immediately be reached to confirm the information. Thomas Conroy, a Yale spokesman, said the university was aware of the news report.
