"Iraqi reporter al-Zaidi's arm, ribs broken"
 Iraqi reporter Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw his shoes at Bush. |
"He has got a broken arm and ribs, and cuts to his eye and arm," the reporter's brother Durgham told AFP on Tuesday.
"He is being held by forces under the command of Muaffaq al-Rubaie," he added.
According to Durgham, his brother was being held by Iraqi forces in the heavily fortified Green Zone compound in central Baghdad.
On Monday, thousands of Iraqis staged a demonstration in Sadr City in Baghdad calling for the release of the journalist.
 Bush ducks a shoe attack by the reporter on Sunday. |
The 29-year-old Muntadhar al-Zaidi, a correspondent for al-Baghdadiya satellite channel, threw his shoes at the US President George W. Bush during a press conference on Sunday, shouting "This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog!"
Bush inked an interim security agreement with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki during his farewell visit to Baghdad in a bid to extend the presence of US troops in the war-ravaged country.
America: We were unable to give President [sic] Bush the boot, but we *can* give him the shoe!
"This is a farewell kiss, you dog!"
It is time to carpet the lawn of the White House and carpet both the lawns of Bush's new homes. What better way to stand in solidarity with Iraqi television journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi?
Send virtual shoes, too! A CLG reader wrote, 'I urge everyone around the world who thinks it appropriate to email George Bush at president@whitehouse.gov a picture of a shoe.'
