Iraqi shoe thrower an instant hero,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
President George W. presence here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also fearful that their country will fall under Iran's influence once the Americans leave.
Several thousand people demonstrated in Baghdad and other cities to demand al-Zeidi's release. The attack was the talk of the town in coffee shops, business offices and schools across much of the Arab world. A charity run by the daughter of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi bestowed a medal of courage on al-Zeidi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], calling on the Iraqi government to free him.
Al-Zeidi was held yesterday in Iraqi custody for investigation and could face charges of insulting a foreign leader and the Iraqi prime minister, who was standing next to Bush. Conviction carries a sentence of up to two years in prison or a small fine - although it's unlikely he would face the maximum penalty given his new-found cult status in the Arab world.
Bush was not hit or injured in the attack, and Iraqi security guards wrestled al-Zeidi to the ground immediately after he tossed his shoes. Throwing shoes at someone is the ultimate insult in the Arab world.
Arab satellite TV networks repeatedly broadcast images of Bush ducking the shoes at the Baghdad press conference.
A geography teacher at a Baghdad elementary school asked her students if they had seen the footage of the shoe-throwing. "All Iraqis should be proud of this Iraqi brave man, Muntadhar. History will remember him forever," she said.
A day after the incident, al-Zeidi's three brothers and one sister gathered in al-Zeidi's Baghdad apartment. The home was decorated with a poster of Latin American revolutionary leader Che Guevara.
Family members expressed bewilderment over al-Zeidi's action and concern about his treatment in Iraqi custody. president who many Iraqis believe has destroyed their country.
"I swear to Allah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he is a hero,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said his sister,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who goes by the nickname Umm Firas.
The family insisted al-Zeidi's action was spontaneous - perhaps motivated by the political turmoil their brother had reported on, plus his personal brushes with violence and the threat of death that millions of Iraqis face daily.
Al-Zeidi joined Al-Baghdadia TV in 2005. Two years later, he was seized by gunmen while on an assignment in a Sunni district of Baghdad. He was freed unharmed three days later.
In January he was taken again, this time arrested by American soldiers who searched his apartment building, his brother, Dhirgham, said. He was released the next day with an apology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the brother said.
Al-Zeidi may have also been motivated by what a colleague described as a boastful, show-off personality.
"He tried to raise topics to show that nobody is as smart as he is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Zanko Ahmed, a Kurdish journalist who attended a journalism course with al-Zeidi in Lebanon.
"Regrettably,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he didn't learn anything from the course in Lebanon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where we were taught ethics of journalism and how to be detached and neutral," Ahmed said.
