New York, NY - Call For Military To Aid In Search For WTC Remains

New York, NY - Some 9/11 families and Sen. Charles Schumer are calling on Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to send an elite military unit to search for human remains at ground zero following revelations that nearly 600 new bone fragments have been found at the former Deutsche Bank building in recent months.

In a letter sent to Rumsfeld, the Democrat backed recent calls by Sept. 11 family groups for the U.S. military to deploy members of its JPAC, or Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command unit, to augment the work of local agencies at ground zero.
