AFGHANISTAN A suicide attack in south Afghanistan left one Czech soldier dead and two others injured, military chief-of-staff Vlastimil Picek announced March 17, according to the Czech News Agency (ČTK). Three Danish soldiers and an Afghan interpreter also died in the incident. One of the severely injured surviving Czech soldiers had been placed under an induced coma at a Kandahar hospital.

ROBBERY Four Danish citizens suspected of involvement in a bank robbery in Aarhus, Denmark, were arrested in Prague March 13 and 14 by local police, ČTK reported. Six other members of the group, which allegedly stole $5.5 million, were detained in Denmark. Police said most of the pilfered money had been seized, along with drugs belonging to the suspects.
MAIL Almost half of the 63,000 undelivered letters found in Břeclav, south Moravia, had been opened, local police told ČTK March 17. A special commission established by Česká pošta is going through the contents of the 72 recovered mail sacks which had arrived in the country by air between 2001 and 2006, and will decide how and when the letters will be delivered.
LAWSUIT The Prague regional court began dealing with the lawsuit that senior representatives of the Czech judiciary brought against Marie Benešová, Social Democratic shadow justice minister, who had likened the Czech judiciary to a mafia. The comment was made last December in relation to developments in the case of Jiří Čunek, a junior government Christian Democrat. According to a March 17 ČTK report, seven complainants demanded that Benešová apologize both in public and in private.
