Knifeman held at Blair's London residence

October 2, 2006

LONDON (Reuters) - An intruder armed with a knife was arrested
on Monday after scaling a wall and getting into a secure area
of British Prime Minister Tony Blair's official London residence,
police said.

The man was apprehended after he scaled a fence from a road open
to the public at the back of 10 Downing Street into what officials
describe as the building's outer secure area.

"As he got to the other side he was immediately challenged by an
officer and arrested following a short struggle," a London police
spokesman said.

Although the man was found to be carrying a knife, described by
media reports as a large kitchen knife, police said they did not think
the incident had any terrorism link. The man's motive was not yet
clear.

"We are satisfied that at no time the prime minister was at risk,"
the spokesman said.
