HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - Five sets of remains believed to be those of American soldiers who went missing during the Vietnam War were sent home Sunday nearly 30 years after the war ended.
The remains were loaded onto a C-17 transport plane in central Danang, from where they were to be flown to an Air Force laboratory in Honolulu for identification.

The remains were located in central and southern Vietnam by a joint recovery team that searches for soldiers missing in action, said Lt. Col. Ty Smith, commander of the U.S. MIA office in Hanoi. sinp

Some 1,800 American soldiers remain unaccounted for in the Vietnam War, which ended in 1975.
