Poland to exhume this evening Smolensk crash bodies

A general view of a sarcophagus where President Lech Kaczynski and First Lady Maria Kaczynska were laid, placed in the antechamber of the Crypt under the Tower of Silver Bells beneath the Wawel Cathedral, where the Polish presidential couple were laid. In a couple of hours, a special team of investigators from the National Prosecutor's Office, headed by deputy Attorney General Marek Pasionek, will start to exhume the remains/bodies of the 2010 plane crash in Smolensk, western Russia, including those of President Lech Kaczyski and First Lady Maria Kaczyska.
