Ninth arrest in alleged Christian militia plot

DETROIT (AP) — All of the suspects in an alleged plot to touch off an uprising against the government are in custody.

The last of nine suspects has been jailed after a search in rural southern Michigan, where he is said to have surrendered.

The eight men and one woman are allegedly part of a Christian militia based in Michigan. Eight were arrested in weekend raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

Prosecutors say FBI agents moved quickly against the group because its members were planing an attack sometime in April.

1. Chip Berlet's website is quite informative and is required reading.

2. Might I also suggest...

"Millennium Rage - Survivalists, White Supremacists, and the Doomsday Prophecy" by Philip Lamy. I currently have this on top of the reading stack. Even though Lamy's book dissects the revival and intensification of the Millennial Myth and its incorporation into the ultra-right militia movements of the 1990s, it remains a timely and terrifying glimpse into the "Killing for Christ" mentality.
