(01-31) 17:43 PST ELK GROVE, Calif. (AP) --

Two 16-year-old Elk Grove students on Monday admitted charges stemming from their plot to wage a Columbine-style assault on their high school last February, prosecutors said.

The two admitted conspiring to commit murder, that the attack planned on the Laguna Creek High School cafeteria would have been a hate crime, and to attempted burglary. The hate crime enhancement acknowledged that they planned to target blacks and other racial minorities, including one particular black student.

Defense attorneys previously had said the youths had no history of violence and the assault plan would never have likely been carried out.

In exchange for their acceptance of responsibility to Juvenile Court Referee Dean Petersen, Petersen agreed to send the youths to the Sacramento County Boy's Ranch. County prosecutors opposed that sentence, saying the charges' seriousness meant the two should go to the California Youth Authority.
