"Olga's husband, Sgt. Leonid Milkin, 29, is a member of the 341st Military Intelligence Battalion, most of which is in Afghanistan, but Milkin has been on special assignment in Baghdad since September and is currently assigned to the 415th Military Intelligence Battalion. He has returned home and is expected to visit the scene of the fire today."<br><br>MIB? <p></p><i></i>
