New information about domestic bombings. The federal government released the latest data showing there were at least 2,700 reported incidents involving bombs and explosive devices in the United States last year. But as CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian details in an exclusive report, that sheer number is not the biggest concern. It's who's behind the majority of the bombings.
It looks like footage from a war zone. But instead, it's homemade bombs built and detonated at home in the United States.
All of the criminal acts shown in CBS News video have one thing in common - they are tied to an alarming trend that CBS News has learned involves the most unlikely culprits: Kids under the age of 18.
"Six out of 10 of these explosive incidents involve juveniles," said Scott Sweetow, the assistant special agent in charge of Atlanta's field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Atlanta.
"It's shocking and, in fact, it's not well known," Sweetow said. "And, it's not something that's going to go away."
