A monument depicting a giant bronze-coloured shoe has been put up in an Iraqi town as a tribute to the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at Bush during a press conference. The monument, which stands two metres high and is filled with a plastic shrub, bears the inscription "Muntazer: fasting until the sword breaks its fast with blood; silent until our mouths speak the truth," in honour of journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi.
Zaidi has been held in jail in Baghdad since the incident, facing charges of assaulting a visiting head of state.
