Mona Lisa smiles on following teacup attack

An "unhinged" Russian woman throw a teacup at the world's most famous painting, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, but it emerged unscathed due to its bullet-proof glass cover, the Louvre museum said today.

The young woman took a cup out of her bag and threw it over the heads of other people who were looking at the picture. The cup damaged on the bullet-proof glass which was slightly scratched, a spokesman said.

It looks like it was done by someone who was unhinged and wanted to draw attention to herself,'' he said.
