An Afghan national accused in connection with a National Guard member's shooting at the White House last year has been hospitalized due to a 'dire' and 'self-inflicted' health condition stemming from his refusal to eat or drink, according to court filings. The suspect was transferred from prison to the hospital as part of an agreement allowing him to remain under guard while receiving medical treatment. Details about his exact condition are not specified in the filing. The transfer is seen as a temporary measure until he can be brought before a judge again.
