According to some reports, the world’s biggest robbery in the world possibly occurred in July 2007 at the private Dar Es Salaam bank in Baghdad’s Karrada district with $292 million (£146 million) taken by three guards working in the banks from the bank’s vaults. This is not just like vaults of mmf drawer, but surprisingly this has drawn little media coverage.

But is this true?

In March 2003 Iraqi President Saddam Hussein ordered his sons Uday and Qusay to steal $1bn (£500m) from the Central Bank of Iraq in Baghdad. About two-thirds of the money was later found hidden in the walls of one of the leader’s palaces.
