!!New Militia Bust-- Brookville Tiger Militia!! Update 1

[Joseph Pothier]

Good Morning Newsgroup Readers,

I reference my previous post "!!New Militia Bust-- Brookville Tiger
Militia!!" of 080612.

Today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the only militiaman
associated with last weeks bust of the Brookville Tiger Militia to be
let out of jail on bail has been taken back into custody for violating
the terms of his bail. Militiaman Kahle was not supposed to be in
possession of either firearms or explosives while awaiting trial, but
was found with more explosives in his possession just days after his
release on bail.

`Clearfield County Man Accused of Being Part of Militia Back In Jail,`
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [PA], 080621.

A Clearfield County man accused of being part of a militia who was
released on bond is back in jail after court officers found another
explosive device in his home.

Bradley Kahle, 60, of Troutville, faces weapons charges in federal
court. Prosecutors say he gave undercover agents explicit instructions
on how to make what he called "bean can grenades."

Last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith A. Pesto in Johnstown released
Mr. Kahle on home detention with electronic monitoring pending trial.
Part of the bond required that the defendant possess no firearms or
explosives.

But on June 14, a pretrial services officer at Mr. Kahle's home saw a
red cardboard cylinder that was 3 inches long and 1 inch wide, with a
green hobby fuse protruding from one end.

It was turned over to the FBI, and on Thursday, agents took it to the
Allegheny County police explosives range.

They secured it to a wooden post and lit it with an electric match. The
fuse burned for three seconds before it exploded with "a large report,
flash and quantity of white smoke."

The force of the explosion blew the top off the wooden post, according
to paperwork asking that Mr. Kahle's bond be revoked.

A hearing on the bond violation is scheduled for Monday in Johnstown.

Mr. Kahle is one of four men now charged in separate but related
investigations by the U.S. attorney's office related to possible militia
activity.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Amy Reynolds Hay, in Pittsburgh, refused to grant
the other three men bond. They are being held pending trial.
