Bush shoe-thrower apologizes to Iraqi PM
Published: 18/12/2008 05:00
| An Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at US President George W. Bush apologized to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki for embarrassing him before the watching world, the prime minister’s office said yesterday.
“Zaidi said in his letter that his big ugly act cannot be excused,” said Yasin Majeed, Maliki’s media adviser. Majeed said that Zaidi added: “But I remember in the summer of 2005, I interviewed your Excellency and you told me, ’Come in, this is your house.’ And so I appeal to your fatherly feelings to forgive me.” Zaidi was brought before an investigatory judge on Tuesday and admitted “aggression against a president,” a crime that could carry a 15-year sentence, judicial officials said. He could face trial soon on the charge. Zaidi’s attorney says more than 1,000 lawyers have offered to defend him. VietNamNet/Xinhuanet |
