WASHINGTON (AP) - In his long-winded video diatribe, Cho Seung-Hui referred to the Columbine school killers as martyrs, and his crime inevitably has been compared with theirs.
Now, experts fear, other vulnerable, angry boys may try to copy or surpass Cho's massacre. As of Friday, the FBI counted 35 to 40 mostly school-based threats, with everything from bombs to guns to mere words, some leading to arrests.
"This is serious business. This is not a time for jokes and it needs to stop," said FBI special agent Richard Kolko, who said all must be investigated. "These threats are abhorrent and those that make them are subject to prosecution and serious prison time."
