LD GATECRASHER 2LST

The Secret Service had on Monday said investigations
have revealed that apart from than the attention-hungry couple
Tareq and Michaele Salahi, a third individual entered the
White House on November 24, without an invitation, by managing
to get into the bus of the Indian delegation.
"It appears at this point that the subject travelled
from a local hotel, where the official Indian delegation was
staying and arrived at the dinner with the group, which was
under the responsibility of the Department of State," the
agency said.
Meanwhile, Allen's attorney A Scott Bolden said that
his client is indeed the person in question, but claimed he
was invited to the White House on November 24. "He
participated in the reception, he participated in the dinner;
w're not denying that.
"This whole issue of him being a third gatecrasher,
while it merits more investigation, he's unlike the other two
individuals who are subject to this investigation. He did stay
for the dinner," 'The New York Times' quoted him as saying.
White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs, however, refused
to entertain any question on this issue at his daily press
briefing, saying it is "a subject of criminal investigation".
