UPDATE:

“White House Press Offices Evacuated”
Monday, June 18, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “WASHINGTON — The White House Conference Center and buildings surrounding Blair House were evacuated Monday after a K-9 unit made a “hit” on a car parked in front of Lafayette Park, across from the White House.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “U.S. officials said D.C. Metro Police were using an abundance of caution in calling in an explosives and ordnance team after what is reportedly a bomb scare. The police dog apparently homed in on a gray minivan outside the press corps quarters.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had just arrived in Washington, D.C., for a stay at Blair House, where foreign dignitaries often reside while visiting the president. Ehud is in town for talks with U.S. officials on the recent dissolution of the Palestinian government, and security has been heightened because of his visit. His vehicle motorcade remained outside Blair House while the evacuation occurred.”

White House has been evacuated, turn on the news.

Question: What is a popular, covert means of transportation of terrorists in the ME:

Answer: The police dog apparently homed in on a gray minivan outside the press corps quarters.

As recently as last week, terrorists used falsely marked vehicles in an attempt to carry out their missions. A 'press vehicle' in America is a very easily created cover vehicle.
