Bomb Plot

WASHINGTON -- Last month, U.S. intelligence learned that al-Qaida's Yemen branch hoped to launch a spectacular attack using a new, nearly undetectable bomb aboard an airliner bound for America, officials say.

But the man the terrorists were counting on to carry out the attack was actually working for the CIA and Saudi intelligence, U.S. and Yemeni officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

CLEVELAND — Five men, including three "self-proclaimed" anarchists, have been arrested in connection with a plot to blow up a bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park south of downtown Cleveland, federal officials said Tuesday.

OGDEN — Juvenile Court Judge Janice Frost ruled Thursday that all future actions in her court will be open if they are connected with Joshua Hoggan, one of two youths charged with plotting to explode a bomb at Roy High School.

Frost said Utah law and the public’s interest in her court’s decisions outweigh whether Hoggan will be embarrassed, or his ability to be rehabilitated harmed, by public access.

OGDEN — The 16-year-old boy accused in a plot to blow up Roy High School has been released to his parents.

Police arrested Roy High students Joshua Kyler Hoggan and Dallin Morgan, 18, on Jan. 25 after two students went to authorities with concerns about text messages from Hoggan detailing plans to set off a bomb at a school assembly.

“After a hearing on Mr. Hoggan’s detention status, the court finds that it is appropriate to release him to the custody of his parents,” Utah courts spokeswoman Nancy Volmer said after a Friday hearing before 2nd District Juvenile Judge Janice Frost that was closed to the press and public.
