An Indiana man found with nine homemade bombs in his van as he traveled across Ohio pleaded guilty today to possessing unregistered destructive devices.

Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 44, of Moores Hill, Ind., did not say anything after his plea in U.S. District Court in Columbus.

Boguslawski was driving from Pennsylvania to Indiana on Jan. 1 when he was stopped for speeding on I-70 west of Columbus in Madison County by State Highway Patrol troopers.

Troopers noticed a gun between his legs and found nine completed bombs, four nearly completed bombs, a military-style rifle and other firearms, according to his plea agreement.

The bombs were made from heavy plastic bottles and were filled with explosive powder, court records said.

Boguslawski, an Indiana National Guardsman, told troopers the explosives were smoke bombs used for suicide-bomber training, the troopers report said.

Investigators found photographs and videos of Boguslawski making bombs and of him and family members detonating them.

He originally was charged in state court, but his case was transferred to federal court last month.

Federal law requires registration for destructive devices.
