Midwest militia members charged in plot to kill police, attack officer's
funeral
By Devlin Barret, Associated Press

WASHINGTON - 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 personnel, federal prosecutors
said Monday.

U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said agents moved on the group because the
Hutaree members were planning a violent reconaissance mission sometime in
April — just a few days away.

Members of the group called Hutaree are charged in the case, including
their leader, David Brian Stone, also known as "Captain Hutaree."

Once other officers gathered for a slain officer's funeral, the group
planned to detonate homemade bombs at the funeral, killing more, according
to newly unsealed court papers.

According to the indictment, the idea of attacking a police funeral was
one of numerous scenarios discussed as ways to go after law enforcement
officers. Other scenarios included a fake 911 call to lure an officer to
his or her death, or an attack on the family of a police officer.

After such attacks, the group allegedly planned to retreat to "rally
points" protected by trip-wired improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, for
what they expected would become a violent standoff with law enforcement
personnel.

"It is believed by the Hutaree that this engagement would then serve as a
catalyst for a more wide-sread uprising against the government," the
indictment charges.

It includes charges of seditious conspiracy, possessing a firearm during a
crime of violence, teaching the use of explosives, and attempting to use a
weapon of mass destruction — homemade bombs.

The indictment charges members of the group conspired "to levy war against
the United States, (and) to oppose by force the authority of the
government of the United States."

The charges follow FBI raids over the weekend on locations in Michigan,
Ohio, and Indiana.
