U.S. military exhumes remains of unidentified victims of Pearl Harbor attack

(Reuters) - The remains of unidentified members of the U.S. military killed in the sinking of the USS Oklahoma during Japan's World War Two attack on Pearl Harbor were exhumed in Hawaii on Monday in a bid to identify them, the Department of Defense said.

Five caskets draped in U.S. flags containing the remains of sailors and Marines who died in the Dec., 7, 1941 attack were transferred from a cemetery to a laboratory where they will be analysed with modern forensic methods, including DNA testing.
