Remains of U.S. soldier returned from Korean War

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The remains of a U.S. soldier killed 55 years ago in the Korean War have been identified and are being returned to his family in Minnesota for burial this week, the Pentagon said on Monday.

Army Cpl. John Storm of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, was killed when his 8th Cavalry Regiment unit came under attack by Chinese forces near Unsan, North Korea, in November 1950.

More than 380 soldiers of the regiment were unaccounted for after several days of fighting. But in July and August 2002, a joint team of U.S. and North Korean specialists investigated a site near Unsan and found human remains and other evidence.

The team was also given Strom's military identification tag found by a villager. U.S. forensic experts in Hawaii later identified the remains as those of Strom, who will be buried in Fergus Falls on Wednesday.

More than 8,100 U.S. troops are still missing from the 1950-53 war, but the Pentagon last month suspended U.S. efforts inside North Korea to find remains of troops killed during the conflict, accusing Pyongyang of creating an atmosphere dangerous to U.S. workers.
