BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Sunday said that investigations have revealed that a man involved in the “slaughter” of several Iraqis was behind the shoe-throwing incident.
“We will not oppose the court’s decision if al-Zaydi is acquitted,” Maliki told reporters in Baghdad.
Last week, Muntadher al-Zaydi, a correspondent for al-Boghdadiya TV, threw a pair of shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush at a Baghdad-based joint press conference with Maliki
