REMAINS OF 6 TAKEN FROM CAMBODIA

U.S. military experts announced today they will repatriate six sets of human remains collected by Cambodians that are believed to be of Americans reported missing in the Vietnam War.

The remains were to be flown to Hawaii on Thursday in the first repatriation of suspected MIA remains from Communist Cambodia, said U.S. Army Col. Joseph Harvey, who led the mission.

Eighty-two Americans are listed as missing in action in Cambodia. Harvey said the six sets of remains warranted further investigation to reach a positive identification.
