Muntazer al-Zaidi (R) reacts as a shoe is thrown at him during a news conference in Paris December 1, 2009 in this video grab obtained December 2, 2009. Zaidi, an Iraqi reporter imprisoned for throwing his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush, found himself on the receiving end of a similar footwear attack in Paris on Tuesday. French media said the attacker was an exiled Iraqi journalist who spoke in defence of U.S. policy, accusing Zaidi of siding with a dictatorship, before throwing his shoe. [Xinhua/Reuters]
