Teenager's Bombing and Mass Shooting Plot at a Mall Is Foiled, F.B.I. Says
A teenager in Oregon planned to set off an explosive at a shopping mall in Washington State and shoot people as they fled the movie theater there, said law enforcement officials, one of whom said the plot 'was as serious as it gets.' The teenager, who is from Columbia County, Ore., and whose name and precise age were not released, was arrested on May 22 by deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, according to the F.B.I. Officials in the F.B.I.'s Portland, Ore., office said the attack was planned for the Three Rivers Crossing mall in Kelso, Wash., which is about 50 miles north of Portland. Representatives of the mall could not be immediately reached for comment on Saturday. The detailed and imminent attack plans were reported to the F.B.I. on May 19, officials said at a news conference in Portland on Thursday. The agency worked with the local police to identify the suspect the next day. Doug Olson, the special agent in charge at the Portland office of the F.B.I., did not disclose who tipped off the authorities, saying only that 'if you see something, say something.' The teenager was placed under court-authorized surveillance, and a federal search warrant was executed at his home on May 22. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

North Dakota man accused of threatening to kill Obama, breaking into historic trading post site
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man is accused of threatening to kill former President Barack Obama, breaking into a National Park Service historic site and threatening other people. A federal grand jury indictment filed Wednesday levies felony charges of burglary, damage to property of the U.S., terrorizing, malicious mischief, threatening to kill a former U.S. president and three counts of threatening interstate communications against Ian Patrick Stewart of Williston. The indictment said Stewart 'did knowingly and willfully threaten to kill and inflict bodily harm upon' Obama between April 20 and May 13. The document doesn't detail the alleged threat. Stewart also is accused of threatening to injure three Williston residents in May. The court papers say Stewart entered Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site on May 13 when it wasn't open to the public, caused a building to evacuate and threatened a Park Service employee and Williams County law enforcement. He was armed, according to the indictment. Several law enforcement agencies responded, and the historic site and the road to it were closed during the 'barricaded subject situation,' the Williams County Sheriff's Office previously said. Stewart is held at the Ward County Detention Center in Minot. He is scheduled to appear Monday in court. No attorney is listed for him in court records. The Associated Press left him a voicemail. Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site is along the Missouri River at the Montana-North Dakota border. The site focuses on the history of the fur trade and the post that operated there for decades in the 19th century.
