The Iraqi journalist who threw shoes at George Bush has appeared
in court, his television station says.
An investigative judge will review the evidence in the case and
decide whether Muntadhar al Zeidi should stand trial.
The reporter has been in custody since Sunday, when he targeted
the US President during a news conference in Baghdad.
Iraq's interior ministry has denied reports that the journalist
suffered a severe beating after being arrested.
"The rumours about al Zeidi being injured or being hurt
are baseless," ministry spokesman Major General Abdul-Karim
Khalaf said.

One of the reporter's brothers claimed he had a broken leg, cracked
ribs and injuries under his eye.
Al Zeidi's court appearance is the first stage in a complex legal
process which could take months.
Officials in Iraq have recommended charging him with insulting
a foreign leader, an offence which carries a maximum sentence
of two years in prison or a small fine.
