The North Korean army on Monday (4/8) handed over the remains of four soldiers believed to have been Americans who died in the 1950-53 Korean War.
The handover marked the completion of the second successful mission by a ten-man team from the US Defence Department's POW/MIA Office (Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Office), who spent 20 days in North Korea searching known battle sites for the remains.
