Dubai: A Saudi man has offered to pay USD 10 million for the pair of shoes that a Iraqi journalist hurled at US President George W Bush during a press conference in Baghdad.
Mohamed Makhafa, a retired school teacher, says he considers the size 10s a 'medal of freedom and more valuable than everything he owns', Al Jazeera news channel reported.
Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist who became famous overnight in the Arab world, had thrown his shoes at President Bush during a joint press conference of the US leader with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Baghdad.
"It is more precious than all my property. I will bequeath it to my children and display it in a museum and call it the Medal of Freedom," Makhafa told AlArabiya.net.
