Bodies of Missing U.S. Soldiers Recovered in Raid Identified
The bodies of eight persons recovered in the raid that rescued Private Jessica Lynch have been identified. Seven of the eight were from Lynch's 507th Maintenance Company, based at Fort Bliss, Texas. The other soldier was with the 3rd Division Support Battalion, based at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
A ninth body had not been identified as of the posting time of the article.
Update: CNN television just reported that Private Lynch's dog tags have been recovered in a private residence behind the hospital. Ammunition and weapons were also found in the house. CNN says the emerging theory is that Lynch was taken there before being put in the hospital. The reporter showed the dogtags on the air. Investigation ongoing.
