A supposed "Syrian" citizen has attacked the Iranian president on his historical visit to Egypt.
I can only speculate what has actually spurred this assault and if we will actually be able to verify any of the details.
This all comes in the wake of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad first visit to the nation since 1979. This trip was suppose to bolster relations between Iran and Egypt. News link to a story covering that can be found HERE
I presume this one change all to much, but I presume the conspiracy factory is about to start churning out interesting conclusions.

ETA:
It appears they have changed the title of the article to "Syrian tries to attack Iranian President Ahmadinejad in Cairo - reports"
Looks like a journalist may have been a bit quick to presume it was a successful attack. This is a great example of how media outlets can really fudge up the details around a breaking develop and mis-inform people.
Will update when possible.
ETA:
Looks like it was going to be a shoe
The video, taken by the news agency’s correspondent, shows a young man shouting at Ahmadinejad and trying to hit the presidents head with a shoe, instead striking one of his bodyguards.
The attacker, who attempted to hit President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as he left a mosque, is reported to be a young man with “a Syrian accent”. Egyptian security forces managed to seize and arrest the man following the incident.
The attacker was heard chanting anti-Iranian slogans for supporting the Syrian government, the news agency noted.
I think slayer hit the nail on the head, no leader is without his/her critics.
I had to laugh at the "Syrian Accent" claim which led to a preliminary assumption he was Syrian. Hoaky.
