Saudi offers $10m for Iraqi reporter's 'farewell gift' to President Bush
The shoes thrown by an Iraqi journalist at United States President George W Bush in Iraq on Sunday has gained 'immortal fame', a private TV channel reported on Monday. According to an Arab TV channel, a Saudi citizen has offered $10 million to buy the shoes thrown at the US president by TV reporter Muntazeral Zaidi who was detained after being accused of a 'barbaric act' by the Iraqi government. Thousands of Iraqi citizens protested for Zaidi's release, calling him a national hero. Earlier, the US president had said, "I don't know what the guy's cause is, I didn't feel the least bit threatened by it."Posted by: Fred 2008-12-16 |
