A prosecutor in South Carolina says that an 18-year-old high school student will be charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction for allegedly
plotting to blow up his school.
The charge carries a possible life sentence.

Ryan Schallenberger, who was turned in by his concerned parents, also faces two lesser federal charges.
Federal authorities say that the teen had planned to detonate explosives in a suicide attack on his high school in Chesterfield, S.C.
Schallenberger's parents called authorties after discovering he had ordered 10 pounds of ammonium nitrate -- a bomb ingredient -- and police later found his journal that contained threatening writings and the plans to his school.
