Egyptian sculptor accused of using body parts CAIRO, Egypt (Reuter) - An Egyptian sculptor is facing charges for using human body parts in a statue submitted for an art competition in Cairo, newspapers reported Thursday. They said 27-year-old Ahmed Karaaly had confessed to buying human arm and leg bones from a gravedigger for $9 and then combining them with bones from a cat and a sheep in a transparent polystyrene statue. ''The jury judged the statue to be below the competition's artistic standards way before discovering the terrible fact,'' Fatma Ismail, director of the Center for Arts, which organized the competition, told Reuters. She said Karaaly had mentioned to a jury member that he had used real human parts. ''I wanted to make a statue representing the fossils of ancient civilization by combining the human and the animal body in a creative way,'' newspapers quoted Karaaly as saying. They said Karaaly had been charged with exhuming corpses and desecrating the dead. He was freed on bail. Police were looking for the gravedigger.
