WTC missing list drops under 6,000

The official number of people missing at the World Trade Centre dropped to 5,960 after multiple lists of the victims were double-checked, New York’s mayor Rudolph Giuliani said.

The number of missing reported to police had been 6,347 for several days. Giuliani said the revision was made after duplications were found on lists provided by some of the 63 countries that lost people in the trade centre attack.
