Police arrest 2 teens for allegedly planning school attacks

Police say two teenagers — a girl from the town of Bridgewater, N.S., and a boy from Rivers, Man. — have been charged for allegedly planning simultaneous attacks at their local schools.

Authorities arrested both earlier in the week after receiving tips from Interpol and the FBI that the two had allegedly been planning the attacks for a period of time online in open chat forums and private messages.
