Georgia Militia Members Accused of Assassination Plot 
------------------------------------------------------



Four elderly members of a Georgia militia have been arrested on charges
of keeping a hit list targeting government officials. Prosecutors say
Attorney General Eric Holder and former congressmember and Green Party
presidential candidate Cynthia Mc Kinney were listed as potential
assassination targets. The group's alleged ringleader, Frederick Thomas,
was found to have stockpiled 52 guns and 30,000 rounds of ammunition in
his Georgia home.
