Tehran: An unemployed
Iranian threw shoes at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Monday during

Ahmadinejad.
The incident occurred while Ahmadinejad was delivering a speech at
a ceremony in the northern city of Sari.

managed to get to the front row to complain about his unemployment
and then threw his shoes at the president.
