KENTUCKY...
Federal officials say three men are in custody on federal explosives charges. But officials say although the men were found with enough military C4 explosives to blow up a small house, they do not appear to have ties to a militia or terrorist organization. In a news release, the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified the three as: 41-year-old Robert Bancroft, of Williamstown, Ky.; 43-year-old Daniel J. Bancroft, of Sidney, Ohio, who is Robert Bancroft's brother; and 44-year-old Paul Zahn, of Bainbridge, Ohio. The three appeared in U.S. District Court in Covington, where they were ordered held until a detention hearing Friday. A federal complaint says the Bancrofts sold a total of 12 bricks of military C4 explosives at a location in Walton.
