Tuesday, 8 June, 2004

Six soldiers have been killed while clearing mines in Iraq, a spokesman for the Polish army has said.

Three Slovaks, two Poles and one Latvian died, and several other soldiers were hurt.

The incident took place on Tuesday morning in the city of Suwaira, around 50km (30 miles) outside Baghdad.

"They were working on destroying ammunition stocks from Saddam Hussein's army," said Polish spokesman Colonel Zdzislaw Gnatowski.
