Funeral held for second Czech soldier to die in Afghanistan

The funeral has taken place of a Czech soldier who died in Afghanistan last week.  The soldier was killed in a road-side bomb attack in the province of Logar, where he was serving with a Czech provincial reconstruction team.  The Czech defence minister, Vlasta Parkanova, army chief of staff Vlastimil Picek and Chamber of Deputies chairman Miloslav Vlcek were among around 500 people who attended the funeral in Uherske Hradiste.  The soldier who died was the second Czech soldier to be killed in action in Afghanistan: a Czech military policeman died in a suicide bombing in Helmand province in March.
