Ohio bomb plotter sentenced to 6 years

AKRON, Ohio – A fourth man who pleaded guilty in a failed plot to bomb a highway bridge in Ohio was sentenced Friday to six years in prison.

Anthony Hayne, of Cleveland, apologized in court for his actions. He had pleaded guilty in a plea deal seeking to avoid a possible life sentence.

Three co-defendants pleaded guilty later but without plea deals. They were sentenced previously to eight- to 11-year terms.

A fifth defendant is undergoing a psychiatric exam.

The men were among five arrested in an FBI sting operation targeting a highway bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park between Cleveland and Akron. The FBI has said the public was never in danger and the device was a dud provided by an informant.

The suspects were described by the government as self-proclaimed anarchists who acted out of anger against corporate America and the government. The defense has called the investigation a case of entrapment, with the informant guiding the way.
