COPENHAGEN/WASHINGTON - A fourth US Army soldier, who together with three others went missing in Lithuania last week when their vehicle sank in a peat bog, has been found dead, US and Lithuanian officials said on Tuesday.

The three other soldiers were found dead on Monday after rescuers recovered the armored vehicle of the four missing soldiers in a military training area near the border with Belarus.
