Officials at Arlington National Cemetery announced that they had evacuated the area after a bomb threat Wednesday morning.
All visitors and staff had been safely removed from the area and the emergency services are investigating, according to the statement.
"We will update the public as soon as we have additional information," officials added.

If you want to piss off a lot of Americans, bomb Arlington. Talk about a stupid move.
That dog would be much more effective at finding a bomb than almost any metal detector.
You were searched. The dog smelled and his handler looked. That is how it should be done.
Its just as effective as any of the crap the TSA does.
Nice to have a range of suspects for a change.
Groundskeeper tired of using a backhoe?
The same kind of a-holes that are tearing down historical statues because they don’t like them. The Left doesn’t like the military so this is not surprising.
My first thought as well....
That’s a shame for the vets who fly there on Honor Flights, only have one day, and a set time for a flight home that evening.
The changing of the guard is often the highlight of their day.
deep state
This ain’t funny that some slime ball dimocratic voting communist would pull some crap like this. They are sitting around smoking dope and decide to make this type of telephone call. I’d love to have my Louieville Slugger and about four or five minutes with these punks. Okay, 2 minutes will be enough.
Yeah, and this ass never wore a uniform, never hit a beach, never did a combat assault in a chopper, never did a HALO from 35,000 into hostile territory, never went deep in a Boomer sub, yada yada.
