While al-Zaidi was still screaming in another room, Bush said: "That was a size 10 shoe he threw at me, you may want to know."Hurling shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult among Muslims.Al-Baghdadia issued a statement Sunday demanding al-Zaidi's release.Al-Zaidi drew international attention in November 2007 when he was kidnapped while on his way to work in central Baghdad. He was released three days later.Bush had been lauding the conclusion of a security pact with Iraq as journalists looked on.CNN</blockquote>
