HANOI, Jan. 9 (Xinhuanet) -- The Hawaii-based Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command will start search in Laos for remains of 10 U.S.servicemen stilling missing from the Vietam War for a month, the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi said on Monday.

    "Four recovery teams from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command will deploy Tuesday from Hawaii for approximately 30 days to conduct excavations in Laos to search for and bring home remains of Americans still missing from the Vietnam War," the U.S. Embassy said in a press release here Monday.

    The teams will implement four recovery operations associated with aircraft losses near the two provinces of Phonsavan and Taoy. A total of 10 people are still missing after their planes were shot down or crashed between March 1961 and Jan. 1968, the press release from the embassy said.

    The deployment of the Joint POW (prisoners of war)/MIA (missingin action) Accounting Command will be the 92nd joint field activity in Laos. The command was activated in Oct. 2003 with the key mission of achieving the fullest possible accounting of all Americans missing as a result of the U.S. previous conflicts.     Enditem
