Five Men Arrested for Planning to Blow Up Ohio Bridge
Five men were arrested Monday for attempting to blow up a bridge near Cleveland, the Plain Dealer reports.
The men planted fake explosives, provided to them by an undercover FBI agent, under the Ohio Route 82 bridge in Sagamore Hills, which crosses Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The group was comprised of "self-proclaimed anarchists," who were participating in a May Day protest, according to the newspaper.
Those arrested by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force were charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials, according to the Plain Dealer. The full FBI affidavit can be found here.
Other May Day protests took place across the United States Tuesday. According to the Seattle Times, city officials there warned the public about the possibility of violence amid a larger anti-capitalist protest being held. Occupy Wall Street in New York City also took up the May Day message, according to Bloomberg, calling for an international labor strike.

- April 23, 2013
- Public sector organizations are under intense scrutiny to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible and with maximum transparency. An important consideration is the way in which payments are made and managed. Prepaid cards can offer flexibility, security and accountability to governments as a method of dispersing benefits, healthcare and social care payments, child benefits and housing benefits to their constituents.
