Six Arrested in Alleged Fort Dix Murder Plot Tuesday , May 08, 2007
CAMDEN, N.J. —
Six people were arrested on Monday in connection with an alleged plot to murder soldiers at Fort Dix, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey, said the men are from the former Yugoslavia and were planning to "kill as many soldiers as possible." Five of them lived in Cherry Hill, he said.
Drewniak said the six were scheduled to appear in federal court in Camden later Tuesday to face charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. servicemen.
During a secret meeting, the men allegedly attempted to purchase AK-47s from an arms dealer working with the FBI and were arrested in New Jersey after officials learned of the plans, a law enforcement source said.
The undercover investigation followed the men, three of whom are brothers, from New Jersey to the Poconos, where they allegedly practiced firing automatic weapons, media sources said.
Officials raided the homes of the men, described as Islamic radicals, and said there is video showing some of the alleged planning.
A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because documents in the case remain sealed, said the men were arrested as part of a joint federal and local investigation.
The officials said the attack was stopped in the planning stages.
A news conference was planned for 2:30 p.m. ET.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Karl Rove just instigated this to call attention away from the President’s something or other. Anyway, it’s clear the civil rights of these freedom fighters were violated as BushCo continues to trample the Constitution. Did someone put Kool Aid in my coffee?
Let me guess...Amish or Mennonites?
With any luck, it was not Kool Aid. Just kidding!
Yep nothing to look at here, keep moving.
What war?
Hmmm...I had to read well down into the article to "find out" that they were Muslim terrorists. Figures.
Gotta watch those Amish./s
This is how that Baptist-Amish War got started./ms
