WASHINGTON (AP) — Nine suspects tied to a Christian militia in the Midwest are charged with conspiring to kill police officers, then attack a funeral in the hopes of killing more law enforcement people, federal prosecutors said Monday. Members of the group called Hutaree are charged in the case, including their leader, David Brian Stone. Once other officers gathered for the slain officer's funeral, the group planned to detonate homemade bombs at the funeral, killing more, according to newly unsealed court papers. The charges follow FBI raids over the weekend on locations in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. According to investigators, the Hutaree view local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel as a "brotherhood" and an enemy, and planned to attack them as part of an armed struggle against the U.S. government. Eight suspects have been arrested by the FBI, and one more is being sought. Andrew Arena, head of the FBI's field office in Detroit, said the case "is an example of radical and extremist fringe groups which can be found throughout our society. The FBI takes such extremist groups seriously, especially those who would target innocent citizens and the law enforcement officers who protect the citizens of the United States."

UPDATE FOR ANN ARBOR.COM: 9 Hutaree Members Face Federal Charges Of Conspiracy, Attempting To Use Weapons Of Mass Destruction www.annarbor.com/news/9-h...pons-of-mass-destruction/ Nine members of Hutaree - described by authorities as an anti-government extremist organization - have been indicted on federal charges of attempting to use weapons of mass destruction. At least one member of the group lives in Washtenaw County, and the indictment charges that group members trained in Lenawee County as they "conspired to levy war against the United States." The indictments were released this morning, two days after numerous raids in southeast Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Among those charged are six Michigan residents, two Ohio residents and one Indiana resident. The federal indictment charges that the leader of Hutaree, David Brian Stone (known as RD), was plotting to kill an unspecified member of law enforcement. It says the plan was to kill an officer and then attack law enforcement vehicles with improvised explosive devices when officers gathered for that officer's funeral. Charged in the indictment released today are: All face charges of seditious conspiracy; carrying, using and possessing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence; and attempting to use weapons of mass destruction. Some also face additional charges. As of this morning, eight of the nine people charged are in custody, while Joshua Stone is considered a fugitive. Seven of them appeared for a 10 a.m. detention hearing in Detroit federal court. Arraignment and bond hearings were set for 1 p.m. Wednesday. Donna Stone, 44, of Adrian, who was in court for the hearing today, said she divorced David Stone Sr. three years ago after he started taking the movement too far. She said he lured her son, David Stone Jr., into Hutaree. This photo from the Hutaree website shows members training. The training is held in secret locations and is closed to the public. "He dragged a lot of innocent people down with him," she said. "It started to get worse when they were talking about the world's gonna end in the Bible." David Stone Jr.'s fiancee, Brittany Bryant, 18, of Adrian, said at least 10 FBI agents raided her home Saturday night. She said they told her to leave her 6-month-old on the couch and come outside. "They had guns pointing at my head when I opened the door," said Bryant, who was also in court for the hearing. "They were looking for weapons, documents, anything they could find for evidence." Meeks, of Manchester Township, participated recently in the search for a missing Bridgewater Township woman. His family members could not be reached by AnnArbor.com on Sunday. The indictment charges Hutaree is an anti-government extremist organization that advocates violence against local, state and federal law enforcement. Members are sometimes recognizable by their tiger stripe camouflage uniforms with a distinct shoulder patch that contains a black cross, two brown vertical pillars that form the letter "H" with the black cross, two red spears, a brown "V" shape at the base of the cross symbolizing the supporting hands of Hutaree, and the initials "CCR." Since at least 2008, members have been meeting regularly and conducting military-style training in Lenawee County to prepare for "war with their enemy," the indictment says. The documents describe enemies as state and local law enforcement officers who are deemed “foot soldiers of the federal government,” as well as federal law enforcement officers and anyone who does not share their beliefs. According to the indictment, "The general concept of operations provided that the Hutaree would commit some violent act to draw the attention of law enforcement or government officials and which would prompt a response by law enforcement. Possible such acts which were discussed included killing a member of law enforcement after a traffic stop, killing a member of law enforcement and his or her family at home, ambushing a member of law enforcement in rural communities, luring a member of law enforcement with a false 911 emergency call and then killing him or her, and killing a member of law enforcement and then attacking the funeral procession with weapons of mass destruction. After the attack, Hutaree members would retreat to one of several "rally points" to wage war against the government and be prepared to defend with "trip-wired and command detonated anti-personnel improvised explosive devices, ambushes, and prepared fighting positions," the indictment says. That action, Hutaree believed, would serve as a catalyst for a more widespread uprising against the government, the indictment says. U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade of the Eastern District of Michigan said in a statement that the Hutaree had "planned a covert reconnaissance operation for April, which had the potential of placing an unsuspecting member at risk." Because of the risk to the public and law enforcement, it "demanded intervention at this time," McQuade said in the statement. According to the indictment, several local Hutaree members attempted to travel to Kentucky for a summit of militia groups on Feb. 6. David Brian Stone is accused of researching IEDs over the Internet and of soliciting a person to provide four IEDs to take to the summit, the indictment says. The indictment also charges that members gathered materials necessary for the manufacturing of such devices. It accuses David Brian Stone and David Brian Stone Jr. of teaching other Hutaree members how to make and use explosive devices. The charge of attempting to use weapons of mass destruction is punishable by up to life in prison; seditious conspiracy is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, teaching the use of explosive materials is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence is punishable by up to five years in prison.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
WMD's? It will be interesting to see those specifics. That said, I wonder what the plan will morph into by tomorrow. Yesterday it was muslims, today its cops.
