Two U.S. Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, are in custody after conspiring to use an explosive device at their base, police said.

Lance Cpls. Richard Morrison, 21, and Richard Thomas Medders, 22, were arrested Saturday along with Janna Rebecca Lynn Smith, 27, and charged with criminal conspiracy to cause or risk a catastrophe, and making terrorist threats and bomb threats, Pennsylvania State Police said.

The three downloaded information from the Internet on making explosive devices and said they were going to use them at Camp Lejeune, police said.

All three are being held in the Wyoming County Correctional Facility.

Morrison and Medders served in the 2nd Force Service Support Group, which provides combat support, said Staff Sgt. Jay Connolly, a spokesman for Camp Lejeune.

They should have the book thrown at them and then put them under the jail We have enough to worry about, let alone our own military people turning on us.

As i said before in a previous thread...Its kinda sad they are not on the front page of every news paper. Surely if these guys were in turbans they would have been. They are just as much of a terrorist as any other terrorist. They should really be punished for even trying to do this!
