YouTube arsonists arrested
WATERVILLE (Maine, USA) - POLICE in Maine say seven teens and young adults have been arrested after a video was posted on YouTube that showed them setting off Molotov cocktails inside a vacated building and then rolled credits naming those involved.

Waterville police say the suspects, who range in ages from 14 to 20, broke into in a former Boys and Girls Club through a window.

Police seized the YouTube video showing the group making and throwing the devices, which exploded and caused flames as high as 6 meters.

Police say the video, which has since been taken off the video-sharing Web site, showed the faces of the suspects as well as text naming those pictured.

Each is charged with arson and burglary. -- AP
