Shoe terrorist plot

"Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki moved Monday to undermine the popularity of the Iraqi who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush, saying the journalist confessed that the mastermind of the attack was a militant known for slitting his victims' throats. Tensions over the case also spilled into parliament, as a move to oust the abrasive Sunni speaker delayed a key decision on whether non-U.S. foreign troops will be allowed to stay in Iraq beyond New Year's Eve." In fact, I would not be surprised if the US government does not find a "confession" from Khalid Shaykh Muhammad to the effect that he personally planned the shoe throwing.
