WARSAW, Poland: A Polish soldier was killed and three others injured when their
convoy hit a roadside bomb in Iraq Wednesday, the Defense Ministry said.

The convoy was 30 kilometers (20 miles) from a Polish base in the central Iraqi city
of Diwaniya when the bomb exploded, ministry spokesman Piotr Paszkowski said.

The three wounded soldiers suffered only minor injuries, Paszkowski said.

Warsaw contributed ground troops to the U.S.-led war in Iraq in 2003 and has since
led an international force south of Baghdad that now includes 900 Poles.
