Remains of 9/11 Victims Dumped in Pentagon Landfill 
----------------------------------------------------



The Pentagon has acknowledged it dumped portions of human remains
recovered from the site of the 9/11 attacks in Washington and
Pennsylvania in a landfill after cremation. It is the first time the
military has admitted to the practice for the dead from 9/11 following
the disclosure last year that the remains of U.S. troops killed in
Afghanistan and Iraq were also discarded in a landfill.
