    A Bethesda teenager pleaded guilty to a felony explosives charge Wednesday, admitting that he had chemicals, switches and igniters in his bedroom that readily could be made into a bomb.

"What we know for certain is that he made and exploded pipe bombs and had the components to build new explosive devices." The plea was the latest step in a case that captured national attention last year after Montgomery County officials said a map of Camp David,...

The first of the three attacks targeted the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey, Mexico.
