Members and activists of Hungarian Communist Workers Party build a pile of shoes in front of the US Embassy of Budapest on December 20, 2008 during their demonstration to protest the arrest of Iraqi journalist Montasser Al-Saidi. The press member threw his shoes at US President George W. Bush and called him a 'dog' in Arabic, during a press conference in Baghdad on December 14. Bush, who was on a farewell visit to Iraq, was addressing the press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki when the assault took place. The assailant a reporter for al-Baghdadiyia television, was removed from the room by security staff. None of the two projectiles made contact with their apparent target.
