Secret Service agents on Monday arrested a Jersey City woman and accused her of calling in two bomb threats to the White House two nights after the terror attacks on New York and the Pentagon. Rosalia Morales appeared "agitated and intoxicated and admitted to having consumed alcohol earlier that evening" when confronted by agents several hours later, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Secret Service. The White House operator who fielded two calls believed to be made by Morales told agents that the woman said that "(Osama) bin Laden should have blown up you Americans and that there is a bomb in the White House," the complaint said. The first call was made at 10:43 p.m. Thursday; the second minutes later.
When visited by agents about 3:30 a.m. Friday, Morales said another woman was responsible but then admitted making the calls, the complaint said. |
