Man throws shoe at Bush.

The blogosphere's been chortling over a recent incident where an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at George W Bush during a surprise presidential visit to Iraq.

What interests me is that the journalist has apparently disappeared, following the incident.

From the BBC article:

Al-Baghdadiya's bureau chief told the Associated Press that he had no idea what prompted Mr Zaidi to attack President Bush, although reports say he was once kidnapped by a militia and beaten up.

"I am trying to reach Muntadar since the incident, but in vain," said Fityan Mohammed. "His phone is switched off."


I'd really like to hear what's happened to him, before this story disappears into the ether of the 24 hour news cycle.
