In Ohio, the last of five people convicted of attempting to detonate a fake bomb provided as part of a government sting operation has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Prosecutors say Joshua Stafford used his cellphone to activate what he believed was a real bomb in an attempt to destroy a bridge running through a national park. Stafford and his co-defendants are self-described anarchists with links to the Occupy Wall Street movement in Cleveland. Their supporters say they never intended to hurt anyone and were egged on by an FBI informant. The four other defendants have already been sentenced to terms ranging from six to 11.5 years.
