Thieves broke into the Louvre museum in Paris and stole thousands of diamonds and other precious jewels, prompting questions about the museum's security.

|
The Paris museum said the jewelry belonged to Napoleon and his wife.
|
|
The robbers employed a portable electric ladder to break into a second-floor wing of the Paris museum that holds the French crown jewels.
|
|
With tourists already inside, police say thieves entered a museum window, smashed display cases, and fled with nine pieces from Napoleon's jewel collection, all in seven minutes.
