Drilling Fischer's Coffin for DNA??!!

It is being reported in the Icelandic press that the NY Times got it wrong when it reported in a July 7th article that authorities drilled into Fischer’s coffin to obtain a DNA sample. I’ve searched for the article both on the Times site and with Google and can’t find any such article. I did come up with an article in a Manila newspaper stating that the drilling had been done and that its source was a lawyer involved with the case in Iceland.

Anyone seen the alleged NY Times article??

I wasn’t on the NY Times site, but I did see it on CNN’s website and also on the Wall Street Journal’s website.

However, all of those stories could have come from the same wire service story.

The NY Times has already demanded a retraction from the Icelandic newspaper.

The paper in Iceland has apologized.
