Hijackers' remains raise questions
Among the human remains painstakingly recovered from the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crash sites of Sept. 11 are those of nine of the hijackers. The FBI has held them for months. Deciding what to do with the bodies of these despised enemies of the United States is a politically and emotionally charged question for the government. With the one-year anniversary approaching, State Department officials said yesterday they had received no requests for the remains. The department would be responsible for handling such a request from any government seeking the return of a citizen's body. Officials have said that eight of the nine hijackers recovered had connections to Saudi Arabia. The other was Lebanese.I think we're being entirely too sensitive about this. Just toss them out with he rest of the garbage and forget about them. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-08-17 |
