DETROIT (AP) — The leader of a Christian militia planned an elaborate, two-part training session for this month and told members it was OK to kill “anyone who might stumble upon the operation,” federal prosecutors wrote in a court filing Friday.
Details about the Hutaree’s planned training session — to be held during the second and fourth Saturdays in April — were revealed in a 17-page document prosecutors filed in response to a defense motion to free Hutaree leader David Stone while he awaits trial.
It, along with several other government filings over the past week, help paint a fuller picture of the southern Michigan-based group’s make-up and activities.
Stone and eight other suspected Hutaree members were arrested after a series of raids across the Midwest late last month and charged with seditious conspiracy, or plotting to levy war against the U.S. The self-proclaimed “Christian warriors” trained in paramilitary techniques in preparation for a battle against the Antichrist.
Friday’s filing included a transcript of remarks Stone allegedly made during a January briefing on the planned operation.
According to the filing, Stone told other Hutaree members that “we are going locked and loaded.”
