West Virginia Militia

NPR
Published October 10, 1996 at 11:00 PM CDT

The FBI has arrested several members of a West Virginia militia group who federal officials accuse of planning to blow up the FBI fingerprint records facility outside Clarksburg, West Virginia. The facility houses the FBI's collection of fingerprints and other identification resources, which help state and local police identify crime suspects. NPR's Chitra Ragavan has a report on today's arrests.
