-Caveat Lector- Israel to deport more U.S. doomsday suspects January 6, 1999 Web posted at: 11:45 a.m. EST (1645 GMT) Alleged cultists say group's leader is in London JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israel issued deportation orders on Wednesday for three alleged members of a U.S. doomsday cult, raising to 14 the total ordered out on suspicion of planning a shootout with police ahead of the millennium in hopes of bringing about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It was unclear when all 14 -- eight adults and six children - - would be deported from Israel. Deportation orders were issued Monday against 11 other members of the Denver-based Concerned Christians group. The three men ordered deported Wednesday have denied they planned any violence. John Bayles of Denver; Terry Smith of Eagle, Colorado; and Eric Malesic of Westminster, Colorado, had been held an additional two days so authorities could question them for information about other group members in Israel and elsewhere. Other group members in Greece? As they await deportation, the group wants to go to Greece, rather than return to the United States, their lawyer said in Jerusalem. Eran Avital said they choose Greece because other members of Concerned Christians are already there and because they believe the United States will be destroyed soon. According to Avital, they also said Monte Kim Miller, the group's leader, was in London. Miller and several dozen followers have not been seen since selling their homes and belongings in the Denver area last fall. Miller told his followers that he will die in the streets of Jerusalem in December 1999 and be resurrected three days later. Cult members had rented two homes in Jerusalem suburbs The 14 suspected cultists being deported by Israel arrived there in September and rented two homes in the Jerusalem suburbs of Mevasseret Zion and Moza. Israeli police watched the homes for several weeks and raided them Sunday, detaining the residents. Israeli police said members of the Concerned Christians group planned to provoke bloodshed by attacking policemen in Jerusalem. A senior police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the suspects were planning violent acts in Jerusalem's walled Old City, and that one possible location was the Temple Mount, site of Jewish-Arab tensions in the past. Avital said his clients will not fight deportation, even though they would have preferred to remain in Israel to await what they believe will be the return of Christ at the millennium. Christian scriptures say Jesus will return to make everlasting peace after a cataclysmic war between the biblical armies of Gog and Magog at Armageddon in the Holy Land.
