BIRMINGHAM, Ala. AP – Raids that resulted in the arrest of six alleged members of a ragtag group calling itself the Alabama Free Militia and the seizure of hundreds of hand grenades and bullets were “much ado about nothing,” a defense lawyer said Friday.
A cache of ammunition that was confiscated – 2,500 rounds – wasn’t that large, and the scores of homemade hand grenades that agents seized could be made with powder from fireworks and components readily available in military surplus stores, said Scott Boudreax.
