Cheney neighbours rocked by blasts
Dick Cheney’s neighbours are being shaken and rattled at least once a day by mysterious blasts at the US Naval Observatory in Washington where the vice president lives.
The Navy said the explosions are part of a construction project that has been going on for several months, but won’t say more because the project is classified.
Navy spokeswoman Cate Mueller said they have tried to reassure the neighbourhood, which includes the British embassy and Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Washington home, that the blasts will not damage their property.
And she said the construction is expected to last another eight months, and for the time being there will be one or two blasts a day, each lasting about three to five seconds.
