Chicago (CNN) -- Two additional suspects faced charges in connection with an alleged terror plot in Chicago as world leaders met at a NATO summit there Sunday.
Sebastian Senakiewicz, 24, is charged with falsely making a terrorist threat. Mark Neiweem, 28, is charged with attempted possession of explosives or incendiary devices, prosecutors said in a statement. The men, both believed to be from the city, were scheduled to appear in court at noon Sunday (1 p.m. ET).

CHICAGO (CBS) — Three anti-NATO protesters were planning to attack police stations, Mayor Emanuel’s home and President Obama’s campaign headquarters with Molotov cocktails during the NATO Summit, police sources said on Saturday.
The three, who have been charged with possessing explosives to commit terrorist acts, were witnessed by undercover police investigators making the fire bombs inside an apartment in Bridgeport, authorities say. They have been under surveillance for several days and arrested on Wednesday.
Lawyers for Brian Church, 20, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Jared Chase, 24, of Keene, New Hampshire; and Brent Vincent Betterly, 24, of Oakland Park, Fla., insist the only thing inside that apartment was beer-making equipment.

One of the suspects, identified by police as Jared Chase, 24, is from Keene, N.H. and spent time in Boston, where he participated in the Occupy Boston protests last fall.
Chase’s page describes involvement with the Occupy movement, first in Boston, then Providence, R.I., Washington D.C., Miami, and finally Chicago. The page describes Chase being arrested outside the White House, includes commentary about the merits of anti-terror legislation, and threats against police.
“Freedom cannot be destroyed by these corrupt pigs with badges,” one post reads. Another says, “Miami has the most crooked cops in the country. We should execute them before they do something well [sic] regret.”
The Facebook page expresses support for Anonymous, a loose collective of activist computer hackers that has aligned itself with the Occupy movement. Linking to a post about the recent hacking of a Boston Police website, it reads, “[Anonymous] to the rescue!”
Gregg Housh, a leading figure in both Anonymous and the Occupy Boston protests, said Chase’s involvement in Occupy Boston was “an on-and-off thing” and that he “wasn’t around much,” preferring to move from city to city. Housh said several members of the Occupy Boston movement told him that they have not seen or heard from Chase since he left Boston in December last year.

Housh said activists he knows in Chicago planned to meet Saturday night for a protest in solidarity with the three men who were arrested. Housh said some activists believe that the men were set up.
While Housh admitted that there was “some crossover” between Occupy protesters and activists at the NATO summit, he argued that protests against meetings of global leaders were “violent long before Occupy ever showed up on the scene.”

Betterly, Chase and Church were frequent participants of the Occupy movement in South Florida. Chase was arrested at an Occupy Miami event earlier this year.
According to Betterly’s Facebook page, the group arrived in Chicago on April 28th. He wrote on the wall of Occupy the Chicago NATO Summit that day. “Thanks for the hospitality,” Betterly wrote. “This is going to be a great summit.”

During a press conference Thursday afternoon, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi praised those participating in the "Occupy Wall Street" protests. "God bless them," Pelosi said, "for their spontaneity. It's independent ... it's young, it's spontaneous, and it's focused. And it's going to be effective."

In an interview that will be aired tonight on ABC News, President Obama continues to express his commitment to the Occupy Wall Street protesters.
“The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded,” Obama tells ABC News. “And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”

Do I need to quote the Tea Party and their supporters in Congress? I'd rather watch the pathetic Rockies.
