Nine of the men are U.S. citizens. The FBI arrested seven of the men Friday in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. U.S. Attorney Paul McNulty said the men are charged in a 41-count indictment. They're said to be part of an extremist Muslim organization, Lashkar-e-Taiba, whose main goal is driving India out of the disputed Kashmir territory in South Asia. The State Department also characterizes the group as strongly anti-American. According to the indictment, the group has been preparing for military action abroad -- with the training taking place in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs of Washington and in St. Louis. Training is also said to have taken place near Fredericksburg, Va., using AK-47 assault rifles. Authorities say the suspects used toys to fire paintballs in combat simulations. The Indian government has accused the group of several suicide attacks against government officials and civilians in Kashmir. Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
