Identifying bomb victims proves to be difficult, Belgian investigators say

CNN.com

Identification is proving especially difficult because many of the bodies are not intact, Red Cross Belgium spokeswoman An Luyten told CNN.

Those individual parts need to be identified and then "reassociated" with the rest of the body, according to Victor Weedn, chairman of the Department of Forensic Sciences at Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. Authorities may not release the bodies to the families until all of the remains have been positively identified, he said.

The types of injuries on the Brussels bombings are rarely seen outside of combat. Belgian Health Minister Maggie De Block has described the scene as a war zone.

There’s another American couple missing. I assume they will be added to the list of those killed, also.

Obama was enjoying posing in front of Che Guevara murals in Cuba and dancing the tango in Argentina, so there’s always a silver lining.

Heart breaking. I can’t imagine losing two children like this. Prayers for the family.

I feel so sorry for their parents. The grief that they must be feeling has to be devastating.
