Three Polish Soldiers Die in Iraq Helicopter Crash

WARSAW (Reuters) - Three Polish soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq (news - web sites), where the country runs a multi-national division, the army said Wednesday.

"Three soldiers died after engine failure forced a helicopter to make an emergency landing about 8 km (5 miles) from Kerbala," said Lieutenant-Colonel Artur Domanski, spokesman for the Polish-led multinational division in Iraq.

3. Seriously?

I haven't read this anywhere. If this is true, then no wonder they want to get out. They said recently that they had 'been duped' by Bush.
