From Times Staff and Wire Reports

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, police said. Tipped off by other students, police in Manlius arrested the teenagers and said they found bomb-making materials at one boy’s house. The boys had planned to break into Pine Grove Junior High and set the bomb off in the office, Capt. William Bleyle said. “These kids appeared to be just dabbling in it and very early in experimentation,” he said. Authorities believe they planned to set the bomb off when the school was unoccupied.
