Around 9 months after authorities found a cache of bomb-making materials in their Bronx apartment, Christian Toro and Tyler Toro, both 28, pled guilty to explosives charges on Monday in Manhattan federal court.
Christian Toro came under suspicion in January after a bomb threat was called in to the Harlem high school where he worked as a teacher. A student was arrested for calling in the bomb threat, and Toro resigned abruptly a short time later. Shortly after he resigned, his brother returned a work laptop to the school, and a school employee found a copy of a bomb-making book on the laptop.
