Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:14:52 GMT. A Pakistani lawyer has praised the actions of the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at US President George W. Bush at a press conference.
Muntadhar al-Zaidi, an al-Baghdadiya TV correspondent, shocked the world by hurling his shoes at President Bush in Baghdad on Sunday.


Mian Muhibullah Kakakhel said that the action showed how much the international community hates the outgoing US president.


Kakakhel, as a senior advocate to the Supreme Court of Pakistan, also said he is ready to safeguard the shoes.


Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez had earlier hailed the reporter as a role model for courageousness.


"It's a good thing it didn't hit him. I'm not encouraging throwing shoes at anybody, but really, what courage," said Chavez.


A wealthy Saudi Arabian national has offered $10 million to buy just one of the two famous black dress shoes.


Al-Zaidi is reportedly scheduled to appear before the Iraqi Central Criminal Court on Wednesday.
