NEW YORK, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Remains of a flight attendant and passenger on the first plane to hit the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 have been identified in New York, as families of attack victims prepare to rally for a new Ground Zero search.
The New York medical examiner's office said in a statement that it had now identified remains of Karen Ann Martin, the 40-year-old head flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11, which slammed into the trade center's north tower. Remains of Douglas Joel Stone, 54, who was a passenger on the same flight as Martin, were also identified.
Some families of the 2,749 people killed in the Twin Towers attack will gather at Ground Zero later on Thursday to demand a comprehensive search by forensic experts after the discovery of bones by workers clearing rubble from manholes two weeks ago.
Since then more than 200 body parts, ranging from 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 12 inches (30 cm) in length, have been found.
The newly identified remains of the flight attendant and passenger were not from any remains found in the latest search.
"We must show our absolute solidarity at the site where the remains of the 9/11 dead have lain ignored and unburied for over five years," organizers of the rally said in a statement. "It is time to stand up and be counted. There can be no more haphazard discovery of human body parts and personal effects."
"We demand a scientific, well-organized controlled survey of Ground Zero by a reputable entity."
Some 1,148 of the 2,749 victims of the Twin Towers attack are yet to be recovered or identified. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said more than 20,800 remains had been recovered and nearly 11,000 of those had been identified...
