US secret agents quiz boy over art

Secret service agents questioned a US high school pupil about anti-
war drawings he did for an art class, one of which depicted George 
Bush's head on a stick.

Another drawing portrayed Mr Bush as a devil launching a missile, 
with a caption reading: "End the war - on terrorism."

The 15-year-old boy's art teacher at Prosser high school, in
Washington state, turned the drawings over to a school 
administrators, who notified police, who called the secret service. 
"We involve the police anytime we have a concern," the Prosser school 
superintendent, Ray Tolcacher, told the Tri-City Herald newspaper.

Secret service agents interviewed the boy last Friday. The pupil, who
was not arrested, has not been identified. The school district
disciplined him, but Mr Tolcacher said he was not suspended.

The drawing that drew most attention showed a man in what appeared to
be Middle Eastern-style clothing, holding a rifle and a stick with an
oversized head of the president on it. The secret service in
Washington DC had not yet commented yesterday.
