Iraqi who threw shoes at Bush released from jail

Baghdad, September 15: An Iraqi reporter who hurled his shoes at then U.S. President George Bush was released from prison on Tuesday, his brother said.

Muntazer al-Zaidi, whose act of defiance during a news conference last December summed up the feelings of many Iraqis towards the former U.S. leader, was met outside jail by some parliamentarians who support his case, Uday al-Zaidi said.
