Teens Arrested In School Bomb Plot

Compiled From Wire Services

Three 13-year-old boys armed with fertilizer, diesel fuel and bomb-making plans they apparently got from the Internet were arrested for plotting to blow up their junior high school.

Tipped off by other students, police in the town of Manlius arrested the teenagers on Wednesday and said they found bomb-making materials at one boy’s house.

The boys had planned to break into Pine Grove Junior High on Saturday and set the bomb off in the office, Capt. William Bleyle said.

Police said they aren’t sure whether the bomb would have exploded.
