BUCHAREST (AP) – DNA tests have confirmed that the grave of Nicolae Ceausescu contains the remains of the Romanian dictator and his wife, the couple's son said Wednesday.

Ceausescu ruled Romania for 25 years with an iron fist before being ousted and executed with his wife Elena after a summary trial during the 1989 anti-communist revolt in which more than 1,000 people were killed.
Some Romanians, including the Ceausescu family, had doubts that the couple were really buried in the Ghencea military cemetery in Bucharest.
Valentin Ceausescu, a 62-year-old nuclear physicist, told the Associated Press the test results had finally cleared up lingering doubts. He said he had never visited his parents graves because he was not certain they were buried there.
Their bodies were exhumed at the request of the family as part of a five-year lawsuit, in a move that shocked Romanians.
