Why didn't I hear of this until now?

ROCKVILLE, Md. - Police investigating a teenager accused of bomb-making and weapons violations found a map of Camp David with a presidential motorcade route in his home, a Montgomery County prosecutor said.
Collin McKenzie-Gude, 18, of Bethesda, also had a document that appears to describe how to kill someone 200 meters away, Montgomery Assistant State's Attorney Peter A. Feeney said.

The teen had two forms of fake identification — one portraying him as a Central Intelligence Agency employee and another as a federal contractor, Feeney said. The details were revealed Tuesday

District Court Judge J. Michael Conroy kept McKenzie-Gude in jail on a $750,000 bond, reduced from $1 million. The teen faces charges of weapons violations, possession of explosives and attempted carjacking.

Authorities said they found 50 pounds of chemicals, assault-style weapons and armor-piercing bullets in his home. The investigation has expanded to include the CIA, FBI and Secret Service.

A 17-yr-old was also involved, and they knocked down a 78 yr old man while trying to get the man's car keys and steal his car. They also had a list of teacher's home addresses.

So: when did this happen, and how did you find out about it?

It is said to have taken place in the week-end, and I found out about it from Little Green Footballs, in the context of another story about a man who wanted to kill both Obama and Bush. The commentators themselves said that until one googled Camp David, it was very hard to have the story confirmed; almost nobody reported it. Now, either it is a hoax, or else this is the greatest case of missing a hot story in the history of journalism.
