The remains of two people who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack at the World Trade Center were positively identified this week, as officials continued the difficult and heart-wrenching task of returning victims to their families.
. Just days before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, officials say they have identified the remains of two more people.
The announcement came days before the 20th anniversary of an attack that killed nearly 3,000 people when hijacked commercial jets flew into the twin towers, struck the Pentagon and crashed into a Pennsylvania meadow. Technicians in the medical examiner's office have been working for years to match thousands of body fragments recovered from the Trade Center rubble with known victims, but haven't been able to extract useable DNA in many cases.
Officials also matched remains recovered in 2001, 2002 and 2006 to a single victim, whose family asked that his name be withheld.
