"This discovery gives hope to the families of the missing more than 28 years after the end of the war," it said in a statement.

The Commission stated that the remains were fully recovered and deposited with the Baghdad Department of Forensic Medicine, with the aim of extracting the genetic map and matching it with the DNA of the families of the missing.
