What kind of "distinguishing mark" are they talking about?

Brammertz called the tooth "extremely important." In a report released this week, he said it showed a "distinguishing mark ... rarely seen among people from Lebanon."

"Further forensic tests are taking place to possibly establish the regional origin of the person. His DNA is being compared with existing DNA databases in several countries," Brammertz said on Friday. He declined to name the countries.

Syrian U.N. Ambassador Bashar Jaafari warned the council against jumping to conclusions about the identity of the killers before all the evidence is in, and accused unnamed council members of seeking to exploit the case for political reasons. Washington has made no secret of its belief that investigators will implicate Damascus.
