Brother visits Iraqi who threw shoes at Bush

[tekisui]

BAGHDAD (AP) — Relatives of the Iraqi journalist detained after throwing his shoes at President George W. Bush says he's in good shape and has been allowed to meet with his brother.

Muntadhar al-Zeidi has enjoyed widespread support in Iraq and other Muslim countries since he hurled both his shoes at Bush during a news conference last month.

But he has been denied access to his lawyer and requests from his family to visit him have been rebuffed.

His brother Dhargham al-Zeidi says another brother visited Muntadhar in his Green Zone detention cell Friday. He says Muntadhar is being kept in a comfortable cell and guards even organized a party for his 30th birthday on Thursday.

Al-Zeidi's lawyer says he has only been allowed to meet with his client once.
