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.
