NEW YORK — An additional 150 tiny bone fragments have been recovered from the rooftop of a skyscraper near the World Trade Center site, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office said.
The latest remains were recovered at the end of last week, and one more week of recovery work on the roof is planned, Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office, said Monday.
The recovered remains are among thousands still unidentified more than four years after the 2001 attacks. Borakove said they will be tested for DNA with the hope of identifying more victims.
A Sept. 11 family group, unhappy that city officials had not found the remains earlier, has asked the federal government to take over the search efforts. But White House spokesman Alex Conant said the government will let local authorities handle the recovery of remains.
