MILTON, Ga. (AP) - Investigators have arrested three teenagers
in a recent series of car bombings with Molotov cocktails in the
city of Milton, north of Atlanta.

Authorities say one suspect admitted learning how to make
Molotov cocktails from the video game ``Grand Theft Auto,'' which
has been blamed for other crimes of violence in the U.S. and
abroad.

Police said Thursday that the suspects, one 15 and two 16, will
be charged with 57 felony counts, including arson and possession of
explosive devices in three vehicle fires between 11 p.m. July 24
and 3 a.m. the next morning.
