U.S. federal officials say they have seized over two thousand unregistered small military missiles at a counter-terrorism training center that trains students from Arab countries. Officials also announced on Sunday that David Hudak, a Canadian citizen and the director of the training center, was arrested earlier this week on charges of possessing explosives and immigration violations. The seized missiles are designed to strike and penetrate light armored vehicles. Investigators also discovered over 400 kilograms of explosives at this training center in New Mexico. The students at the center, who were being trained to work as counter-terrorism agents, have cooperated with ongoing investigations. An official from the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agency stated that they do not believe the training center was involved in terrorist activities.
