Israeli ambassador targeted in Swedish shoe attack
Organizers of a university seminar say someone hurled a shoe at the Israeli ambassador to Sweden during a discussion about Israel's upcoming elections.It's getting pretty old now, isn't it? It was not immediately clear if Ambassador Benjamin Dagan was hit in the attack at Stockholm University. Organizers said Thursday a person in the crowd threw a shoe at Dagan at the seminar Wednesday night. Swedish radio reported a second person threw a book at the ambassador and that both attackers were detained by police. Stockholm police could not immediately confirm the report and the Israeli Embassy declined to comment. The incident echoed similar shoe-throwing attacks against former President George W. Bush in December and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Monday. Posted by: Fred 2009-02-06 |
