WASHINGTON:, Police on Monday tackled and dragged away a man with two suitcases who stationed himself in front of the west side of the Capitol and asked to see the President. The man refused to say anything else to an officer who tried to talk with him, authorities said. ``He was not very responsive,'' said U.S. Capitol Police Chief, Terrance Gainer. ``The officer felt it was a possible suicide bomber.'' The man was tackled by a police team and charged with disobeying a police officer. A three-hour investigation of the suitcases, including blasting them with a water cannon, revealed nothing threatening, Mr. Gainer said. He refused to identify the man involved other than to say he was 33 years old, from China and carrying no identification. The midday incident led police to evacuate the West Lawn and briefly bar tourists from the Capitol for fear of an explosion. — AP
