The bodies of another 165 Iranian soldiers who died fighting inside Iraq during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war were repatriated Sunday. That was 28 1/2 years after the end of the war. Bodies often turn up long after wars. About a decade ago, the United States discovered the remains of a soldier killed in the 1862 Civil War Battle of Antietam in Maryland.
