AN Afghan baby was found dead after a gunfight between Australian diggers and Taliban soldiers in November last year, the defence force said today.

The infant had been inside a mud hut that diggers had been firing on before the baby was moved "out of the road" by an Australian soldier, Lt Gen Gillespie said.

"When soldiers started to clear the village they discovered the baby in one of the rooms where there had been combat,'' he said.

"At that time the baby was crying, the soldiers who cleared the room picked the child up.

"There was no evidence of a wound or blood or any of that sort of thing in the clothing that the child was wrapped in.
