Youth arrested in Newport Beach bomb scare

Police today arrested a 12-year-old student of Ensign Intermediate School suspected of bringing an improvised explosive on campus.

The school was immediately put on lockdown around 11:30 a.m. when the boy was reported to school officials as holding the makings of an 'acid bomb' – a makeshift explosive concocted with sulfur and vinegar, Newport Beach police Lt. Evan Sailor said.

While not necessarily deadly, the explosive can throw debris in a 300-foot radius, police said.

"It's a common, but dangerous, device that could potentially cause great harm," Sailor said. "We have no idea why the suspect brought it to school."

The boy is in police custody, and it is not known if he will be admitted to jail or released to his parents, Sailor said

Two dead in Russia bus bomb

Snippets: A bomb exploded on a bus on Sunday in Russia's northern Caucasus region, killing two people and injuring up to 13 others, according to police and media reports. "According to initial information, the bomb was packed with metal shrapnel and exploded with a force equivalent to between 100-150 grammes of TNT at the front of the bus," Viktor Barnash, chief of police for the Stavropol region, said on the First Channel TV station.

Various news agencies put the tally of injured at between seven and 13, whilst there were 34 passengers on board, according to Barnash.

The bomb was home-made, the same source said.

Five people were killed last month in a bomb attack on a bus in North Ossetia, a region neighbouring Chechnya but which has been less plagued by attacks than the rest of the Russian Caucasus.
