Remains of some victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US were taken to a landfill site, a Pentagon report has found. "Several portions of remains" found at the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania crash site presumably ended up in landfill after being handed to a private firm, the report said. The Pentagon said the remains "could not be tested or identified".
The victims were among those killed when a plane hijacked by terrorists struck the Pentagon and another crashed in Shanksville, killing 40. Remains that could not be tested or identified were given to a bio-medical waste disposal contractor. The contractor incinerated them and then took them to a landfill.
The information was in a report on the military's Dover mortuary, where the practice of putting partial unidentified remains in a landfill was discontinued in 2008.
