The man who caused a bomb scare at the U.S. Capitol this week was deported to Australia for violating the terms of his visa, Homeland Security Department officials said.
The man, Wen Hao Zhao, had stationed himself on the west side of the Capitol on Monday with two black suitcases and asked to see the president. After a standoff, he was tackled and dragged away by police who feared Zhao was a suicide bomber. Zhao is a native of China but an Australian citizen.
