Preserving the priceless manuscripts of Timbuktu
A world of knowledge was nearly lost forever amid the al-Qaida occupation in Timbuktu five years ago. Many were burnt, but thousands of ancient manuscripts were smuggled away and saved, and now are being digitized. And yet time and money to finish the project is running out as other threats loom. Special correspondent Monica Villamizar reports from Mali.
