After Bush got it in Iraq, the IMF chief gets it in Turkey! A female student, who tried to unfurl a protest banner, was also dragged away by security guards.

Hundreds of protesters from left-wing parties and unions marched peacefully through central Istanbul, chanting anti-IMF slogans.

Security guards dragged Selcuk Ozbek, 24 -- who are also a journalist at small left-wing newspaper Birgun -- 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," Ozbek shouted during Strauss-Kahn's speech at Istanbul's Bilgi University as part of the IMF-World Bank events.
