Tomb of St. Paul found?

The Vatican is claiming that human remains found in a tomb discovered in 2006 belong to St. Paul the Apostle. Fragments of material and bone were found in the tomb which has remained closed but investigated using a small probe. The bone was carbon-dated to the 1st century AD. Vatican experts point to the tomb's position in the the basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls in Rome underneath an epigraph "Paulo Apostolo Mart (Paul the Apostle and Martyr)" as being proof the remains are of St. Paul.
