Iraq: US troops kill a shoe-thrower over grenade fears - Naveed Yaseen - 09-17-2009 05:14 AM
FALLUJAH: An Iraqi man, who witnesses said shouted abuse before throwing a shoe at a US army vehicle, was shot dead on Wednesday in what the US military said was a suspected grenade attack.
Residents said Ahmed Latif, 32, who is said to have been mentally disturbed, insulted the soldiers as they patrolled the centre of the city, and then hurled a shoe at them. The US military said a convoy in Fallujah had been attacked with a suspected grenade. “Positive identification of the attacker was made, and US forces fired in self-defence, wounding the attacker,” the army said in a statement. afp
