Australian arrested over Washington security scare
April 13, 2005
A Sydney man is in United States custody after being crash-tackled by guards outside Washington's Capitol building because police feared he may have a bomb.
The man was flattened by security guards and dragged away on Tuesday after he stood silently outside the Capitol building with his head bowed, his hands behind his back and two suitcases at his feet.
He had reportedly asked to see President George Bush.
The Washington Post quoted Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency official Allan Doody as saying the black-clad man was Wenhao Zhao, 33, of Australia.
US Capitol chief of police Terrance Gainer said security officers believed he could have been a suicide bomber and took no chances, evacuating the area and closing off streets for three hours.
"He was not very responsive," said Mr Gainer.
Bomb experts later blew up one of the bags when the man refused to open it or tell SWAT officers what was in it.
It is understood his luggage contained a CD, a watch and personal belongings - but no explosives.
The incident, which occurred during one of Washington's busiest tourist seasons, led police to evacuate the West Lawn and briefly bar tourists from the Capitol for fear of a possible explosion.
An officer first saw the man standing near a fountain with a suitcase on either side of him, staring silently at the building, Mr Gainer said.
"He only would say at first that he wanted to speak to the President," the chief said.
Four officers crept up one of the walled pathways behind him. The man briefly turned and saw them as they crouched behind a wall.>>>>>>>>Continued">>>>>>>>>>Continued
