Members of Occupy Cleveland Attempt to Blow up Bridge

On Tuesday, The FBI arrested five members of Occupy Cleveland, after they attempted to blow up a bridge that joined two of Cleveland's suburbs.

Self identified anarchists, the men had worked for months, planning the terrorism. Luckily an FBI informant had inserted himself with them early on, and so every bit was kept track of.

The group researched explosives and purchased what they thought was C-4, but a harmless material had been substituted by the FBI agent.

On May 1, they planted the fake explosives on their target bridge, armed them, left and hid themselves, then waited for the bridge to reach it's peak traffic. At that time they entered the codes that they thought would blow it up. The FBI then immediately stormed in and made arrests.

Each of the terrorists faces jail sentences of more than twenty years. They are being held without bond.
