WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A private plane strayed into restricted airspace over Washington on Wednesday evening, prompting security agents to move President George W. Bush to a safer location and causing the evacuation of the U.S. Capitol, officials said.
Spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush was in the White House residence and was "temporarily relocated" without incident. The House and Senate, both of which were in session, were also briefly evacuated.
