From Times Wire Reports
The remains of 11 firefighters and two civilians were pulled from the rubble of the World Trade Center site in New York City as workers continued in the last stages of the recovery effort, firefighters said.
As of last week, 148 firefighters’ bodies had been found and positively identified through DNA testing--fewer than half of the 343 who were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, said Fire Department spokesman Pat Cleary.
The latest remains were pulled from an area where the south tower once stood, Cleary said.
