Ethiopia will send DNA samples taken from the victims of last month’s Boeing Co. 737 Max jet crash for identification tests in London.
The remains of the 157 people who died are currently in a hospital in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopia capital, Musie Yehyies, the spokesman for the transport ministry, said in an interview. Human tissue has been gathered by a team led by Interpol and the U.K.’s Blake Emergency Services, the official said, without saying exactly where the tests will be carried out.
