Human remains found near World Trade Centre site

Construction workers cleaning toxic waste from an empty skyscraper across from the World Trade Centre terrorist attacks site have found four more human body parts in the building, after finding 10 bone fragments on the rooftop last autumn, officials said today.

The city medical examiner’s office will once again extract DNA from the remains recovered from the former Deutsche Bank building and try to match the results against a database of the 2,749 people killed at the trade centre on September 11, 2001, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the city medical examiner’s office.
