Florida man arrested in plot to get rich by bombing Target stores
By Eric Levenson, Devon Sayers and Jamiel Lynch, CNN

A criminal complaint accused Mark Barnett of making plans to bomb Target stores in several states.

 (CNN)Mark Barnett had what he thought was a great get-rich-quick scheme involving homemade bombs, Target superstores, and well-timed trades on the stock market.
It did not go according to plan.

Barnett, a 48-year-old from Ocala, Florida, is accused of possession of a destructive device affecting commerce, the US Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Florida said in a statement Thursday.

Barnett allegedly built 10 explosive devices and disguised them as food-item boxes, and he delivered those boxes to an unnamed person to place them in Target stores along the East Coast, according to a federal criminal complaint.
