New DNA bid to identify 9/11 victims

New DNA technology is reportedly to be used in a bid to identify remains of New York's September 11 victims which are still unclaimed, giving hope to more than 1,000 families who never had any part of their loved ones' bodies to bury.

The city's Medical Examiner's Office is set to pay $1.5m (€900,000) to a firm that will use a powerful, computer-based system to match damaged or partial DNA samples with those provided by relatives, according to the New York Post.
