Man threatens to blow up White House
January 14, 2009 - 6:18AM
NEW ORLEANS - Federal authorities have charged a man with threatening to kill US President George W Bush.
A social worker told Secret Service agents that 44-year-old Gregory Broussard was being treated at a Hammond hospital when he threatened to blow up the White House and kill the president.
Broussard is scheduled in federal court Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the US Attorney says she doesn't know if Broussard has a lawyer.
Agents say they questioned Broussard at a psychiatric hospital. They say he told them that he travelled to Baton Rouge last month to survey the state capitol and governor's mansion in case President-elect Barack Obama visits.
Agents say they searched Broussard's home and car and found a rifle and a digital camera with photos of the US Naval Academy.
