Car bombings blamed on GTA IV

Three teenagers who have been arrested in the US and charged over a spate of car bombings say Grand Theft Auto IV taught them how to make the Molotov cocktails they used.

Atlanta police arrested the teens - aged between 15 and 16 - who reportedly old authorities they learned "how to do it" from playing "Grand Theft Auto", according to WSBTV.

Recently, GTA IV's Thailand distributor pulled the title from store shelves following a murder committed by a teen - claiming to be trying to recreate a scene from the game.
