Iraqi scribe throws shoes at Bush
Dubai, Dec 15 On his 'farewell' visit to Iraq as US President, George W Bush had an unusual 'encounter' when an Iraqi scribe threw two shoes at him, but the agile American leader downplayed the incident, saying ``it's a sign of a free society.''
Protesters shook their shoes at the US Embassy in London on Friday in a show of support for a jailed Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush during a news conference in Iraq.Up to 50 demonstrators, some carrying shoes mounted on sticks, protested the arrest of journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi and called for his release.
