Austrian police say the bodies of some of the 71 people found dead in a trafficker's truck last month have been returned to their home countries.
State broadcaster ORF says four bodies have been flown to Iraq and 17 of the victims have been identified so far. Police spokesman Gerald Pangl says Tuesday that relatives are organizing the flights to their homelands.
Pangl says Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have been helpful in providing DNA samples needed for identification.
The bodies of those fleeing violence in their homelands were found Aug. 27 on the main highway connecting Austria and Hungary. Coroners say the victims suffocated while in Hungary in the vehicle's air-tight cargo area.
