IRAQI SHOE-THROWER "WAS BEATEN"

Hi guys.USA president Mr.Bush has been attacked in Iraq by Muntader al-Zaidi,a press reporter on Sunday while he was gesturing the reporters along with the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri Maliki.The guy was immediately arrested after he threw the shoes on Bush at the meeting hall itself and he was beaten in front of everyone.
The investigating judge in this case reported that the man shows signs of having been beaten.The judge, who saw Muntader al-Zaidi this week, said the journalist had bruises on his face and about his eyes.The court is investigating the beating and officials will catch records of the incident. One of his brothers said the journalist had broken ribs and injuries to his arm too.
Judge Dhiya al-Kenani confirmed that Mr Zaidi had written a letter of apology to the Iraqi prime minister asking for a pardon for his "big, ugly act" of throwing his shoes at Mr Bush.
The judge said the Iraqi president could grant a pardon if the prime minister requested it, though only following a conviction.
He said the journalist had not pressed any charges relating to his injuries. Muntader al-Zaidi, a correspondent for an Iraqi-owned TV station based in Cairo, could face imprisonment on charges of insulting and attempting to assault a foreign leader.
