NH tax evaders face new trial for weapons, bombs, booby traps allegedly aimed at marshals

CONCORD, N.H. — Retired exterminator Ed Brown and his dentist wife Elaine holed up on a mountaintop in their turreted concrete castle, protected by an arsenal of homemade bombs, booby traps, semiautomatic assault-type rifles and a cache of 60,000 rounds of ammunition — all aimed at federal agents, prosecutors say.
