Six Islamic militants from Yugoslavia and the Middle East were arrested on charges of plotting to attack the Fort Dix Army post and "kill as many soldiers as possible," authorities said Tuesday.
In conversations secretly recorded by an FBI informant over the past year, the men talked about killing in the name of Allah and attacking U.S. warships that might dock in Philadelphia, according an FBI criminal complaint.
"This was a serious plot put together by people who were intent on harming Americans," U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said Tuesday. "We're very gratified federal law enforcement was able to catch these people before they acted and took innocent life."
One suspect reportedly spoke of using rocket-propelled grenades to kill at least 100 soldiers at a time, according to court documents.

Someone needs to inform Pelosi that terrorists do exist since she and the rest of her Liberal cohorts refuse to believe that we are at war. IMO, Liberals are living in some alternate universe of insaniity.

Unfortunately, it wasn't just "Clinton's war" after all . . .

This little gem really cracked me up . . .
"Conservatives voting against deployment [of U.S. troops in Kosovo] will find themselves in league with Pat Buchanan and Henry Kissinger. This alone should give conservatives with any memory of past foreign policy debates pause."

Ms. Pelosi might just reply that George Bush’s Iraq war forced those poor oppressed illegal Albanian immigrants to lash out in frustration. Then she’ll strap on a headscarf and jet off to Syria, where true freedom reigns. (sarcasm off)

I wonder if they'll be released in custody of their families.
Muslim families are so close.

You know, I am having a slow day at work today and have checked in to FR about every hour or so. This has been posted over 6 or 7 times, yet when I do a search I can only come up with the current post.
What gives? Normally you would have all the “this has already been posted” likes each time. Glad you noticed too.

Reid & Co. Hate America, Hate Our Troops.......
Reid and Co. have given carte blanche to terrorists all over the world to 'have at the US'....we won't do anything. This is a fact also...........our elected government has done nothing to stem the invasion along the borders until it is now too late...the evil doers are here living among us and have been. The illegal aliens march for "their rights" and not one leader has spoken out and told them "they have no rights - they are in fact felons because they have broken the law.
Reid and the rest of his Marxist nits will try to make this President Bush's fault - the President doesn't write the laws the Bureaucrats in Washington and in our states write these feel good politically correct non-laws. Those six Islamic militants have little to fear
..the ACLU and the spineless elected with dumbed down Politically Correct academics, newspapers, and useful idiots protecting them

Was that the actual headline?
This wasn’t “murder,” this was terrorism. A murder plot is when somebody bumps off his spouse for the insurance money; terrorism is ideologically motivated killing or violence against non-combatants for the purpose of imposing your political system. The latter was what these guys were attempting, hence, they were terrorists.

Another video showed ``images of Osama bin Laden and other Islamic extremists making various speeches in which the speakers call the viewer to join the jihadist movement,’’ court papers said. `Armed Attacks’ Besides Shnewer, the complaint identifies the suspects as Serdar Tatar, Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka, Shain Duka, and Agron Abdullahu. The alleged conspirators believed that Abdullahu was a sniper in Kosovo and that CW-1 had experience in the Egyptian military, the complaint said. Shnewer showed the other informant, CW-2, ``a number of videos’’ on his laptop that ``depicted armed attacks on and the killing of United States military personnel,’’ the complaint said. At meetings with CW-1 in early August, Shnewer said that he, Tatar and the three Dukas were part of a group planning to attack a U.S. military base, specifically Fort Dix, and a nearby naval base, the complaint said. Schnewer said six or seven jihadists could kill at least 100 soldiers by using rocket-propelled grenades or other weapons, and that they could train in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, according to court papers. `Not Afraid to Die’ ``Shnewer also said that he and others in the group had saved money to pay for the weapons and that they were not afraid to die,’’ the complaint said. A few days later, CW-2 asked Shnewer ``what made him think of Fort Dix as a target,’’ the complaint said. Shnewer replied: ``My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers.’’ In mid-August 2006, Shnewer and CW-1 scouted the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey and the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, the complaint said. The informants recorded many conversations with the Dukas as they discussed plans to buy rocket-powered grenades and machine guns, the complaint said. Tatar told CW-1 that he would get a map of Fort Dix from his father’s pizzeria near the facility. The Duka brothers rented a house in Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania, and traveled there in early February with Abdullahu to practice firing the weapons, the complaint said. `Kill American Soldiers’ CW-2 met with Dritan and Shain Duka on March 10, when the informant asked about Tatar, the complaint said. ``Shain Duka explained that Tatar wanted to join the U.S. Army so that he could kill U.S. soldiers from the `inside,’’’ the complaint said. ``When CW-2 asked about Tatar again, Dritan Duka remarked, `He had only one mind, how to kill American soldiers.’’’ The Dukas later said that, ``rather than waging jihad overseas, they could do so in the United States,’’ the complaint said. The case is USA v. Dritan Duka, 07-m-2046, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (Camden). http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=agUG0413ZFIg&refer=home
