TUNKHANNOCK, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- 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.

Tunkhannock is about 25 miles northwest of Scranton in northern Pennsylvania.

Source??

PA is a long way from Camp LeJeune.

Whats the MPI or CID take on this?

And, fer chrissakes I'd think a couple of jarheads in combat support would not need to go to the internet to figure out how to make something go 'boom'.

Lastly.. if they are in fact really Marines, I'd still think that these guys gettin picked up by a hick town PD on a conspiracy to bomb something charge is a long way short of implicating the entire USMC of unamerican activities.

I believe CNN reported the soon to be ex-marines as being on leave or "detatched" from Camp Lejune.
