Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit has a new art exhibit. A giant shoe has gone on public display to honor the Iraqi journalist who flung his shoes at George Bush.

The work is by Baghdad based artist, Laith al-Amari. He described the fibreglass and copper work as a homage to the pride of the Iraqi people.

The shoe monument also comes with a poem in honor of Muntazer al-Zaidi.
