A man and a woman were identified using DNA testing more than two decades after the terrorist attacks, New York City officials said.
Two victims who died in the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11 have been identified more than two decades after they died in the terrorist attacks, New York City officials said on Friday.
“Faced with the largest and most complex forensic investigation in the history of our country, we stand undaunted in our mission to use the latest advances in science to serve this promise.” The remains of 1,104 victims, or about 40% of the 2,753 people who died after terrorists hijacked commercial airlines and crashed them into the Twin Towers have yet to be identified, the city said.
