More Details on Weapons Raids

An FBI agent says one of the men arrested in a sweep by a terrorism task force over the weekend was the subject of an undercover investigation targeting militias.
FBI Agent Daniel Yocca says the investigation focused on militia members with "a propensity for violence." Yocca testified in a detention hearing Wednesday for 49-year-old Marvin E. Hall, of Rimersburg, who faces weapons charges after a raid on his home Sunday. Meanwhile, 60-year-old Bradley Kahle of Clearfield County told undercover agents he hoped senators Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama would be killed if they were elected president, and that he would shoot judicial and law enforcement officials if he ever became terminally ill. Kahle made the statement in April, when he also showed two undercover officers several firearms, including a sniper rifle, two AK-47 assault rifles, and about 5,000 rounds of ammunition, according to the affidavit of probable cause. Others arrested in the raids were Perry Landis of DuBois and Morgan Jones of Lucinda. The government plans to present similar evidence against them, including audio recordings of discussions among the alleged militia members.
