Murray, KY – A Michigan-based Christian militia's foiled plot to incite a violent revolt has renewed interest across the country in the possibility that extremist groups are planning attacks within the United States. The court indictment for Hutaree Militia members cites a planned meeting in Kentucky with another group of militia members. The documents report the Hutaree members were unable to attend the meeting due to inclement weather. Chad Lampe speaks with the Executive Director of the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, Tom Spencer, about the incident and what's known about militia groups in the commonwealth.
