Media Journalist murder plot rocks Czechs

The Czech Republic has been shaken recently by perhaps the most bizarre political and criminal scandal since the fall of communism.
It centres around a plot to kill one of the country's leading investigative journalists, allegedly organised by a former official at the Foreign Ministry.
The scandal has also led to a series of corruption investigations at the ministry.
And President Vaclav Havel has called for the former Foreign Minister, Jan Kavan, to resign from his new position as President of the United Nations General Assembly.
