Machete-wielding woman outside White House

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A 32-year-old woman wielding a machete was arrested Sunday outside the White House, the Secret Service said.

Spokeswoman Kim Bruce said Ashwak Saleh was taken into custody and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon after she displayed a 13-inch machete on the sidewalk outside the White House.

Saleh was arrested at 2:20 p.m. and taken to Washington Metro Police Department 3rd district for processing.

Witnesses said Saleh was sitting on the sidewalk when she pulled the machete out of a leather sleeve and began sharpening it on the edge of the sidewalk.

The witnesses said passersby then alerted Secret Service officers, one of whom approached the woman and told her to "Drop the blade."

To that, Saleh said, "What are you going to do -- shoot me?"

Thank you for pointing out the ignorance on this board. Yet again, Freepers are jumping to conclusions and casting stereotypes.

Apology accepted, just because Muslim TERRORISTS are filling baby bottles up with chemicals, trying to blow up planes, actually blowing up planes, using dogs as bomb carriers, flying planes into buildings, rioting, killing millions in the Sudan, shooting kids in the head, making the others drink their own urine, lopping of heads of kids in the phillipines, HOW DARE WE FIND ANY COMPARISON TO ISLAM AND TERROR......(Sarcasm ends now)

So unless news reports were garbled, there were two thwarted attacks by women on the White House today. An earlier report was about a woman with small explosives.

Is PMS Contagious?

The MOOSLIMS have a whole bunch of nerve marching in DC after the foiled terrorists plot to blow up hundreds of folks in the air! You'd think they would be up in arms over those MOOLIM TERRORISTS defaming their evil satanic religion!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!! I think we should demand they LEAVE our country before they start a civil war and it ain't gonna be pretty!! Time to purchase a handgun!

"Gee, I wonder what HER religious affiliation is?"

Probably a Cynthia McKinney donor.

Frankly I'm a bit sick of the arrogance of non citizens towards our leaders and society. We need to do a bit of house cleaning.

Wasn't there a gathering of muslims protesting Israel in DC today? Seems like a few of them wanted to multi-task while in the city.

A thirteen inch machete hardly qualifies as a cane-cutting jungle-clearing infidel-converting smurf machete.

LOL! Well done. (Is that from Stepford Wives? I only remember the line about "I was just going to fix you a cup of coffee...")

Zabasearch is a data bank. Lot's of free data, just do a google. You are most likely in the bank yourself.

I think have a couple more.

Beheadings, driving cars into crowds and the ever-popular smashing of airplanes into skyscrapers.

We can probably squeeze in rock throwing as well.

Oh, and whining about how each time they do this they're afraid of retribution and deserve police protection.

32 years of age is too young for Cindy Sheehan , Cythia Mckinney and way way too young to be Helen Thomas
