Death Trail in Desert May Lead to Bodies
In the Libyan Desert near Benghazi a U S Army mortuary team traced a death trail using a boot, helmet, and parachute rope markers. The markers point toward a B24 Liberator crash site where nine crewmen disappeared over 16 years ago. Unidentified remains lie beyond the trail, initially thought to be Italian convoy casualties. An Air Force spokesman said hope remains to recover the crew. Helicopter and team searches from Wheelus Air Base Libya are planned to resume.
