The woman wrote “AE911” on the bottom right-hand corner of the painting before she was challenged by a security guard and a visitor.
A Louvre conservation expert cleaned off the writing yesterday and the unharmed painting will be on show to the public once again this morning.
“AE911Truth” is the name of a website for Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, a group which claims that the official version of the terrorist attacks on Manhattan and Washington on 11 September 2001 is a cover-up.

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth: quite possibly the most embarrassing group of 'professionals' when it comes to architects and engineers.
and what's with people vandalizing works of art? all graffiti 'artists' should be metaphorically shot on site.
or at least put in jail for two years ! (and then shot on sight on site)
This act perfectly defines the entire AE911 (and the whole conspiracy in general) perfectly. A personal, self-referential attack that literally brings no rationality to the table, but instead seeks to attract attention to the self through infamy - an audacious act for attention. Nothing more. That whole movement is a total scam.
Conspiracy is easier to accept than complexity. Damn simpletons.
