Brothers arrested in NYC terror investigation

NEW YORK — – A former New York City high school teacher has been accused of paying students to dismantle fireworks for gunpowder so he could eventually make a bomb. 

Christian Toro was charged in a federal complaint Thursday with offenses including unlawfully making an explosive. His twin brother, Tyler, also has been arrested in the case. 

It isn’t immediately clear who will represent the two in court. 

According to the complaint, the case grew out of a bomb threat called into a school by students in December. 

After that, Christian Toro resigned, his brother returned the ex-teacher’s school laptop, and a technician found a document called “The Explosives Book” on the computer.

The NYPD, FBI and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio are expected to hold a press conference Thursday night.
