POLISH SOLDIERS GUARD MULTI NATIONAL BASE AT ANCIENT IRAQI SITE OF BABYLON
Original caption: Polish soldiers guard a multi-national brigade base near a palace built by Saddam Hussein at the ancient Iraqi site of Babylon. A Polish soldier was shot dead in Iraq on Thursday, becoming the country's first fatality since it sent troops to assist its close ally, the United States. The death of major Hieronim Kupczyk, 44, is likely to reinforce growing skepticism among the public about Poland's military presence in Iraq. The government vowed no retreat.
