Four weeks after his funeral, more remains of
slain U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson have been identified, the Pentagon
confirmed Tuesday.
The remains were retrieved from the spot near
the village of Tongo Tongo, Niger, where Johnson and three other
American soldiers were ambushed and killed on Oct. 4 by ISIS-linked
militants.
They were found during a Nov. 12 inspection of the site by a joint
task force force of FBI and military investigators and later identified
via DNA testing, Defense Department spokeswoman Dana White said in a
statement.
“We can confirm that the Armed Forces Medical
Examiner has positively identified these remains as those of Sgt.
Johnson,” she said.
