Poland's new president takes command of army

Poland’s new president formally took control of the nation’s military today and unveiled a plaque to the victims of the plane crash that killed his predecessor and 95 other people.

Bronislaw Komorowski, who as the country’s president is commander in chief, assumed command of the armed forces on Army Day, the August 15 holiday that honours a stunning Polish victory against Russian Bolsheviks in 1920.
