(AP) - Fifteen white supremaciits were indicted in Arkansas and Colorado for murder of a radio talk show host, sedition, attempted murder and other crimes, the Justice Department said Friday. A federal grand Jury In Fort Smith, Ark., accused 10 men of seditious conspiracy, or trying to topple the federal government, over a 21-month period beginning in July 1983. Four other men were indicted on other charges by that grand jury, while three of the 14 men indicted in Arkansas plus a woman now imprisoned in California were accused of the murder of Denver talk show host Alan Berg. He was slain in a submachine gun attack outside his home June 18, 1984. Those named in the indictments had affiliations with such supremacist groups as the Ku Klux Klan; Aryan Nations; and the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, authorities said. “ Basically, they are anti-Semitic, anti-black,” said Don Pettus, special agent in charge of the FBI in srt. n . Arkansas. He said that he considered the supremacists dangerous and that authorities were on alert for the possibility of retaliatory violence this weekend. Hsrsld photo by Tuekw If the IS are convicted, it would have “ a significant impact” on the supremacist movement, Pettus said.
