A suspicious package was thrown on the White House’s North Lawn on Wednesday morning. A remote controlled robot was used to inspect the suspicious parcel. The White House was secured by the Secret Service, and its internal threat level was raised by one notch. Members of the press were instructed to stay inside a briefing room while investigators assessed the package. A Secret Service spokesman says a man has done a similar act in the past and he is in custody. The suspect is being questioned by Secret Service and the president is being held for questioning.”]
