韩战期间在朝鲜阵亡的12名韩国军人的遗骨被送回韩国。自从韩战于将近60年前结束以来，这是第一批送返的韩国军人遗骨。
星期五，覆盖韩国国旗的这些韩国军人遗骨盒抵达首尔的一个军用机场。韩国总统李明博和其他高层官员在机场参加了迎接仪式。
一个美国搜寻组在朝鲜找到226名阵亡军人遗骨。2005年，华盛顿出于安全方面的考虑，停止了搜寻工作。
The remains of 12 South Korean soldiers killed in North Korea during the Korean War have been returned home, in the first such repatriation since the fighting ended nearly 60 years ago.
The flag-draped boxes containing the remains arrived Friday at a military airport south of Seoul, where South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and other top officials gathered for an honor guard ceremony.
The remains were among 226 sets found in North Korea by a U.S. excavation team before Washington halted the recovery mission in 2005 because of safety concerns.
