Four teens charged in threats that targeted scores of Ontario and Quebec schools

MONTREAL - Four teens from western Quebec charged over threats against schools in their area now are accused in connection with a spate of bomb threats against schools in Quebec and Ontario earlier this week.

Quebec provincial police Capt. Guy Lapointe said Thursday that each of the teens now faces charges of uttering threats, conspiracy and conveying false messages.

They were charged at the provincial courthouse in Gatineau, Que., across the river from Ottawa.

Lapointe says no explosive devices were found in the search of nearly 80 primary and secondary schools and junior colleges after threatening emails were sent Tuesday.

Quebec's acting Public Security Minister, Pierre Moreau, identified the group as "Red Sceptre", unknown to authorities.  (more...)
