Military to search for reputed 'gold train'

Poland said on Tuesday it would deploy the military to look for an alleged Nazi "gold train" that sparked global fascination after two anonymous treasure hunters claimed they had pinpointed where it is buried.

"The defense minister decided to send technical equipment to search the area to determine whether a train actually exists," Defense Ministry spokesman Jacek Sonta said.

"The army is acting at the request of the governor of the region concerned," he added.
