US judge dismisses claims

A US judge dismissed a legal case claiming that the New York authorities denied proper burials to the victims of the September 11 attacks.



Relatives of World Trade Center victims claimed the city acted wrongly by sending debris that might have held remains to a rubbish dump.



The lawsuit asked for the debris to be removed to land that could be turned into a cemetery.



However, the judge said the families had no claim to the removed material.



No remains were found of more than 1,000 victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
