Ahmadinejad attacked with shoe in Cairo

CAIRO: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s visit to Cairo, which started with an affectionate welcome on Tuesday from Egypt’s new Islamist president, turned less pleasant as the day wore on. First, Mr. Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, was lectured by a senior Sunni Muslim cleric and then was nearly struck with a shoe by a man furious at Iran’s support for the Syrian government.


 


The man who tried to strike Mr. Ahmadinejad was a Syrian who shouted, “You killed our brothers!”
