Heh heh... FIRE!

Apparently someone set themselves on FIRE outside the White House today. Anyone have any extra info on it? I'm searching right now, but it isn't going good.

(no offense to anybody by the title of this thread, just reminicing on Beavis and Butthead! )

Man Sets Himself on Fire Outside the White House

(Washington-WABC, November 15, 2004) — A man set fire to himself outside the White House today, suffering serious burns before Secret Service agents extinguished the flames.

The incident took place just after 2:00 pm on Pennsylvania Avenue outside the mansion's northwest gate.

TV cameras captured the immediate aftermath, with medics administering first aid and the man crying out in pain. He repeatedly included the word, "Allah!"

A Washington, DC, fire department spokesman says the man is 52 and suffered burns on his head, back, arms and face. But he was reported conscious when he arrived at a local hospital.

It was just last week that pedestrians were re-admitted to Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House -- after nearly a year of work sprucing up and removing concrete security barriers.
