[rooboy]

Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller suffered minor injuries and several people accompanying him were also hurt when a Government helicopter carrying them made an emergency landing late on Thursday.

Government spokesman Marcin Kaszuba said Mr Miller was not seriously injured in the accident, probably caused by technical problems with the engine.

"Thanks be to God, the Prime Minister left the helicopter on his own feet," said Mr Kaszuba.

Police said Mr Miller was taken to hospital after the helicopter made an emergency landing in Gora Kalwaria, some 20 kilometres from Warsaw.

1. I'm glad he wasn't hurt badly

I've had quite enough of hearing about accidents like that, thank you very much.

2. I think he got kind of pissed

when Bremer cancelled his meeting with him in Iraq.

3. A Polish PM named "Miller"?

We Slavs usually have more interesting names than that. I wonder how he got an English name. Maybe it is a coincidence.
