Muntadar al-Zaidi, George Bush's shoe thrower 'beaten in custody'

BBC article:

The brother of the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at US President George W Bush has said that the reporter has been beaten in custody.

Muntadar al-Zaidi has allegedly suffered a broken arm, broken ribs and internal bleeding, his older brother, Dargham, told the BBC.

Mr Zaidi threw his shoes at Mr Bush at a news conference, calling him "a dog".

A spokesperson for the Iraqi military says the journalist is in good health and said the allegations were untrue.

It is unclear whether the reporter may have been injured when he was wrestled to the floor at the news conference, or at a later point.

The head of Iraq's journalists' union has asked the government for clemency towards the journalist who is still in custody.

A spokesman for Iraq's High Judicial Council said that Mr Zaidi, accompanied by defence and prosecution lawyers, had been brought before the investigating judge, Reuters news agency reported.

Abdul Satar Birqadr said Mr Zaidi had been charged with aggression against a president.

"He admits the action he carried out," the news agency quoted Mr Birqadr as saying.

Earlier, Dargham al-Zaidi told the BBC's Caroline Wyatt in Baghdad he believed his brother had been taken to a US military hospital in the Iraqi capital.

[faisalkfpm]

many of westren didn't understand what a shoe in our Arabian culture representation. Think of the meaning of the shoe, it's a bigger insult to say to some one "you're a shoe" than to say "you're a bitch" and so on some times. Because the shoe funtionate as you (step on it), and to say some on you're a shoe means or to raise to in some one face have the same meaning; (you're so cheap , scummy and generally low level. Bush said he didn't hurt!, he should say he didn't get insulted.
