HELSINKI, Aug 4 (Reuters) The body of a fourth United Nations military observer killed in an Israeli air raid in southern Lebanon on July 25 has been found, Finland's army today said.

Two of the bodies have been identified as observers from China and Canada and one has not yet been identified. One of the missing observers is a Finn. An Austrian is also missing.

''The body has been found. It has not been identified yet. It is estimated that this will take around 48 hours,'' Veli-Matti Rintala, chief of staff at Finland's Defence Forces International Centre, told Reuters.

He said that the identification would probably take place in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
