Largest Bank Robbery in History (2003 Iraq)

In March of 2003, a day before the US began bombing Baghdad, almost $1 billion was taken from the Central Bank of Iraq. This was considered the largest bank robbery operation in history. US troops later found $650 million hidden in the walls of Saddam Hussein's palace. This was suspected as being the bulk of the robbery's score, but the remaining money has not been found. Another $250 million was stolen from the same bank later in March, but the robbers are assumed professionals, not connected to Hussein.
