After purchasing 2 remote detonated Inert Explosive Devices (IED) from FBI undercover agents, the anarchists placed the IEDs at the base of the Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge on Route 82, which spans the Cuyahoga River south of Cleveland in an attempt to blow the bridge up. 

When the anarchists attempted to blow the devices the trigger's failed leaving the bridge intact. 

FBI arrested - Douglas Wright, 26, Brandon Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35, all self-described anarchists, have been charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce. Two other men Conner Stevens, 20 and Joshua Stafford, 23 were also arrested and may face similar charges.

The arrests were made when an informant alerted the FBI to the plans, that's when FBI went undercover...

Brandon Baxter allegedly told the informant that destroying a bridge would cause great financial harm. "Taking out a Bridge in the business district would cost the … corporate big wigs a lot of money," Baxter allegedly said. Wright and Baxter also discussed trying to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland.
