George Bush Shoe-Thrower 'Too Severely Beaten' for Court Appearance

Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who hurled shoes at US President George W. Bush. The journalist who has since become a star in the Arab world appeared before a judge on Wednesday, his brother said. (AFP/File) The brother of an Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at George Bush claimed today that the television reporter was too badly beaten to appear in court, as the speaker of Iraq's parliament reportedly announced his resignation over the issue.

Dargham al-Zaidi said he was told a judge had been to see his younger brother, Muntazer, at the jail where he has been held since throwing his shoes at the US president during a press conference in Baghdad on Sunday.
