My flower to Bush the occupier: the story of my shoe

“Here I am, free. But my country is still a prisoner of war,” said Mutadhar al-Zaidi, the Iraqi who threw his shoe at George Bush, in this speech he gave on his release.

    Iraq: US soldiers have admitted that they shot and wounded an Iraqi man in Fallujah on Wednesday after he threw his slipper at them.

    According to a US military statement, Ahmed al-Jumaili “threw an object, believed to be a grenade” at the passing troops, prompting them to “fire in self-defence.”

    Mr Jumaili was rushed to hospital and was in stable condition there on Thursday
