Student throws shoe at IMF chief in Istanbul

ISTANBUL: A Turkish student threw a shoe at International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn on Thursday as he made a speech to students in Istanbul ahead of the IMF’s annual meeting. Security guards dragged the student away after he threw a white sports shoe and rushed towards the stage. The shoe landed at the feet of Strauss-Kahn. “Get out of the university, thief IMF,” he shouted during Strauss-Kahn’s speech at Istanbul’s Bilgi University. A female student tried to unfurl a protest banner. Strauss-Kahn shrugged off the incident. “I was glad to meet students and hear their views,” he said in a statement. reuters
