hutareeMichigan, March 29, (THAINDIAN NEWS) According to reports, the FBI Agents on Sunday conducted raids in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. It is being said that three men were arrested during the raid. Reports also reveal that a Christian militia group named Hutaree was raided by the agents.

Hutaree is a militia group that quotes in its website from “Bible,” allegedly mentioning that it has been said in the Bible that there would soon be a time in the world when the Anti Christ would emerge and that Jesus wanted his followers to be ready for the combat, with swords and other equipments.

On Sunday, the leader of Hutaree had reportedly called up South Michigan Volunteer Militia (SMVM) twice and claimed that its center in Southeast Michigan was being raided by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This was revealed to the media by the spokesperson of Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia (SMVM), Michael Lackomar. The organization said that Hutaree is not affiliated to SMVM and that on Sunday, SMVM cooperated with FBI and did not extend helping hands towards Hutaree. Though not affiliated to the organization which holds monthly shooting and self defense training classes, it has been reportedly said that some of the members of Hutaree have joined the training sessions twice before.

The reports also mention that Michigan Militia which is itself surrounded by controversies, has revealed that Hutaree has been working nationwide. It has been able to gather people under its banner in Adrian, Michigan. A source also revealed that few months ago, a member of Hutaree was allegedly arrested in link with “some sort of weapons charge”.
