Monument to honour Iraqi shoe-thrower unveiled

In Iraq, a monument has been erected in honour of the journalist who threw his shoes at former US president George Bush. The two-metre-high bronze-coloured sculpture of a shoe was unveiled in Tikrit, the birthplace of Saddam Hussein.

Muntazer al-Zaidi hurled his shoes at Mr Bush at a press conference during the former president's last visit to the country in December. The journalist, now in detention awaiting trial on assault charges, enjoys wide public sympathy.
