Nine members of the Hutaree militia, a Michigan-based Christian doomsday cult, have been arrested and charged with planning to use "weapons of mass destruction" against law enforcement officials. The indictment alleges that the Hutarees intended to wage a guerilla war against police officers using "trip-wired and command detonated antipersonnel improvised explosive devices (IEDs)." There is no mention of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons. When did IEDs become WMD?
