SEATTLE -- A federal jury on Monday convicted five anti-war activists, including octogenarians and Jesuit priests, who cut fences at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor in 2009 to protest submarine nuclear weapons.

Members of the group could face up to 10 years in prison when they are sentenced in March.

The five defendants were convicted of conspiracy, trespass and destruction of government property, the U.S. attorney's office said.

The group includes 82-year-old Jesuit Rev. Bill Bichsel of Tacoma; 60-year-old Jesuit Rev. Stephen Kelly of Oakland, Calif.; 84-year-old Sister Anne Montgomery of Redwood City, Calif.; 67-year-old retired teacher Susan Crane of Baltimore; and 60-year-old social worker Lynne Greenwald of Bremerton.
