Egypt: Hillary Clinton's motorcade pelted by tomatoes

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's motorcade was the target of protesters' shoes and tomatoes in the port city of Alexandria, according to Reuters.

Reuters reported that an Egyptian official was struck in the face by a tomato, but Clinton and her vehicle were not struck by any of the objects thrown, according to a senior state department official.

Egyptian security officials said that protesters chanted, "Leave, Clinton," and "Monica, Monica," referring to former President Bill Clinton's affair.

CNN reported that the tomato-throwing happened as Clinton's motorcade was leaving the newly reopened US Consulate in Alexandria. The vocal protests at the beginning of her visit forced the ceremony to be moved indoors, said CNN.
