New York authorities have ended efforts to identify victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks, leaving the remains of nearly half the 2749 people killed in the World Trade Centre unidentified, the city's medical examiner said.
More than 9700 unidentified bone and tissue fragments have been sealed and stored in case developments in technology allow for identification in the future, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office.
The unidentified remains will be placed in a memorial when the World Trade Centre complex is rebuilt.
