POLAND: Where Is Dead President Lech Kaczynski's Body, Really?

WSJ BLOG/ Marcin Sobczyk /

      More than eight months after former President Lech Kaczynski's tragic death in a Smolensk plane crash, his twin brother is still asking if the body in the crypt in Wawel Castle is the late president's.
    How can that be?
SOBCZYK : "The airplane’s wreckage was left exposed to the weather. Russia for months ignored Poland’s requests to cover it, Polish media report said. Body parts and personal belongings were found at the crash site despite the Polish health minister’s public assurances that Russian investigators had sifted meticulously through the soil."
