Klaus denounces aide's doubts on bin Laden's death

Prague, May 4 (CTK) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus yesterday distanced himself from the statement by Petr Hajek, deputy head of his office, that Osama bin Laden's life and death were a media fiction.
Klaus said Hajek's words were unfortunate and did not voice his view.
Hajek did not consult anyone from the Presidential Office on them, Klaus said in a press release on his web page www.klaus.cz.
"I consider his statement unfortunate. The man who made it evidently did not fully think of its impact, including its fair or unfair interpretations," Klaus said.
Klaus said Hajek had not wanted to evaluate the real event, that occurred in Abbottabad, Pakistan, but tried to "challenge the media halo created around the person of Osama bin Laden and his death."
Klaus said there was the problem that Hajek's statement had prompted some speculations about his own position on the affair.
"I want to put it clear that he did not voice the president's view. This does not mean that as a president I would like to prevent a legitimate discussion with the media that may create various distorted pictures or evident media bubbles, but I consider it necessary to make the president's position clear in this specific affair," Klaus wrote.
Hajek, who is considered one of Klaus's closest aides, said bin Laden's life and death were a mere media fiction.
"It is a modern fairy-tale for adults - good and evil. Let's believe, if we want," Hajek told the server Parlamentni listy.cz on Monday.
Hajek previously said he believed that the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, might have been organised by the U.S. secret services.
Osama bin Laden, who allegedly organised the attacks on the United States in 2001, was killed by U.S. special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on Sunday.
On Tuesday, Klaus said he had received the news of the death of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden "with great relief" and said he believed his end would contribute to enhancing security in the world.http://praguemonitor.com/2011/05/05/klau...dens-death
