"DNA doesn't match up
By: Capital News 9 web staff
Defense officials said DNA found in an Iraqi prison cell doesn't match a missing pilot's.
Michael Scott Speicher vanished during the Gulf War. U.S. forces said they found his initials in an Iraqi prison last April.
Yet preliminary tests on hair discovered in the cell don't match Speicher's DNA.
Speicher was shot down over Iraq in 1991 and declared killed in action. Authorities recovered his flight suit at the crash site.
Saddam Hussein's government claims Speicher was killed and denied holding him prisoner.
