Four charged over attack on Civic Democrats leader

Police have charged four men with throwing stones and eggs at the leader of the Civic Democrats Mirek Topolánek. Mr Topolánek suffered a cut on the head after being hit by projectiles while on the stump at a swimming pool in south Moravia last month. The four turned themselves in to the police soon after the incident, which followed a series of egg attacks on the Social Democrats leader, Jiří Paroubek.
