The head of a large West Bank family wants to reward the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at the US President George Bush by sending him a bride, International Herald Tribune reported Friday.
Ahmad Salim Judeh says if journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi is interested the family is willing to send one of their daughters to Iraq along with her dowry.
The 75-year-old Judeh stated it would be honour for his family to do so.
He also announced that the 500-member clan had raised USD 30,000 for al-Zeidi's legal defense.
Al-Zeidi has become something of a folk hero in the Middle East since lobbing his shoes at Bush at a Baghdad press conference on Sunday.
