The authorities in Los Angeles have issued a warning to pupils after the discovery of three exploding pens.
The latest booby-trapped device went off on Friday morning when a pupil picked up a marker pen lying on the floor in the boys' toilets. It went off in his hands. In August two other devices went off at El Monte district schools, injuring two others. The victims suffered minor burns and scratches on their hands and faces.
The Los Angeles Times said school authorities have now warned pupils not to pick up any objects on the ground, and to tell adults if they see anything.
