SUVA, Fiji (AP) - The U.S. embassy has asked two Fijian families to postpone the funerals of their sons who died in a helicopter crash in Iraq because they are believed to have been sent the wrong remains, the embassy said Monday.
In an apologetic statement the embassy said that a forensic expert was being sent to Fiji immediately to work with the ministry of health in obtaining DNA samples for testing in the United States.
"We know this mistake can only increase the anguish felt by the families and friends of Waisea Atalifo and Timoci Lalaqila," the statement said.
