CLEVELAND, Ohio The FBI arrested five men Monday evening, saying they had planted what they believed were explosive devices under the Ohio 82 bridge over Cuyahoga Valley National Park as part of a May Day protest today.
The five men were self-proclaimed anarchists, who intended to detonate two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) under the bridge in Sagamore Hills, but had purchased the inert devices from undercover FBI agents, officials said.
Arrested by the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force and charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials were: Douglas Wright, 26; Brandon L. Baxter, 20; and Anthony Hayne, 35.
All three are self-proclaimed anarchists who formed a small group and considered a series of evolving plots over several months, according to the complaint filed today by the FBI.
The arrests Monday evening show that the threat we face is a diverse one and terrorist can come from many hues and many homelands, said Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
I am so suspicious of the government now that I believe that these guys were set up, pushed, coerced or fooled in to this and left by themselves would never have tried to bomb anything.

These guys are in a world of shit. I don't know how they ever thought they would get away with this action, or wtf they would be accomplishing.
Just incredibly stupid, and way to make the movement look really bad.

The FBI is an international joke over this shit. It is regularly reported that the FBI sets these people up.
This why Terry Nichols has not been allowed to be deposed. People who supplied him with supplies are now known as being FBI informants, and had been FBI informants for years before they met him. Whole thing sounds like another FBI set-up that went wrong.
