DETROIT, March 9 (Reuters) - An FBI agent testifying
in the trial of seven Midwest militia group members accused of
plotting anti-police attacks, said Friday he participated in
training that included explosives after infiltrating the group
posing as a truck driver.

David Brian Stone Sr., leader of the Hutaree militia group,
instructed members on ambush tactics and the use of explosives,
some of which were detonated during a training session in June
2009, agent Steve Haug said during the federal trial in Detroit. snip

The seven Hutaree members on trial are accused of plotting
to kill a police officer and then ambush any funeral procession
for the officer using home-made explosive devices, to spark a
larger war against the U.S. government. snip

Federal agents seized machine guns, unregistered
short-barrel guns, ammunition, explosive devices and materials
that could be used to make bombs during their raids.
