[AFP]North Korea has returned remains believed to be of US troops killed during the Korean War, the latest move in the cautious diplomacy between Washington and Pyongyang. Troops formed an honour guard as the plane carrying the remains touched down at a US base in South Korea. Earlier I'd asked Korean War veterans from the US and the UK what this meant to them. There are thought to be around 5,300 remains of US soldiers in North Korea. Thousands of US military personnel from the Korean war remain unaccounted for and most of them - about 5,300 - were lost in what is now North Korea.
