CBN Exclusive: Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested at Fort Jackson in South Carolina

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas and are in custody. The five men were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the "Fort Jackson Five" may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

Coming as it does on the heels of November's Fort Hood jihadist massacre, this news has major implications.

Stay tuned to this blog for more details.

I think we really need to know how and/or why this was kept under wraps for 3 months.

Their lawyers probably convinced the judge to get a gag order.

“Fort Dix Five”

by Stephen Lendman

With world eyes on Gaza, the horrific carnage on the ground, innocent civilians being slaughtered, Israel’s grievous crimes of war and against humanity, and its slow-motion genocide gaining speed, it’s easy to forget America’s war at home on Islam and its growing number of victims. This article highlights five recent ones - innocent young Muslim men called the “Fort Dix Five.”

So this happened back in December?

[SkyDancer]

To protect the moron in chief ... nothing else ..

[junta]

What were their Kos avatars?

[Above My Pay Grade]

Yet another “isolated” incident, no doubt. No coordinated series of Islamic attacks on our citizens and military here. /sarc

[Happyinmygarden]

Stand by for announcement from TOTUS that this was an “isolated” situation with no relationship to terrorism. Just another minor incident equivalent to, well say, breaking and entering. Move along now.

Have they given them FREE legal counsel yet?

[hennie pennie]

I also wonder, given that noone has mentioned anything about this in almost 2 months, HOW did it finally get out and WHO leaked it?

I wonder how many people total are aware of the true details here?

[BuckeyeTexan]

I vote that the military gets to have their way these terrorist pigs in a secret, undisclosed location.

[fish hawk]

PROFILING? Don’t leave home without it.

[astounded]

Muslims in the military = Trojan Horse

Get them out! All of them.

[onemiddleamerican]

CBS will probably delete the Muzzie reference and report that they are Tea Party extremists.

[brivette]

nope, just tasted like it.

[Hypo]

take another look.

“The Jackson five” may have been in contact with the “DC five”, the DC five made like Michael Jackson and “Beat It” to Pakistan in Dec.

[Qwackertoo]

WOW, I can’t believe we are just now hearing about this. That is sick. More of the “system worked” from Napolitano?

[TET1968]

The Military had to keep it secret from our own Government....They have probably talked their heads off.
Anybody here see “Pierpoint”?

[Former Military Chick]

Yep, which is quite amazing, so which arrest came first and we are just learning this now?

[Red in Blue PA]

Why the Eff isn’t this the lead story on every news program????????????????

[MamaDearest]

I think the delay could be forgiveable if the reason was an ongoing investigation and they didn't want to word to get out until they got all the info they could from these guys.

It's substantially more time than the hour they took to get "all the info they needed" from the Christmas undie-bomber.

If CBS were reporting this, it is from CBN network!
