Sources: Fort Dix Suspects Talked Of Exploding Tanker Trucks
POSTED: 5:25 pm EDT May 9, 2007 UPDATED: 7:41 pm EDT May 9, 2007 NEW YORK -- The suspected Fort Dix plotters had originally discussed crashing and exploding tanker trucks into buildings to cause mass casualties, law enforcement sources have told NewsChannel 4.
Investigators said the suspects were recorded talking about obtaining licenses to drive trucks ranging from gasoline tankers to those that carry other hazardous materials.
Law enforcement sources told WNBC.com's Jonathan Dienst that the suspects dropped that idea early on because with three men being in the United States illegally, it would have proved difficult to get the necessary licenses.
Investigators said the men -- all in their 20s -- turned to training with guns and plotting an armed attack on Fort Dix.
U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie earlier Wednesday said this case highlights the problem of homegrown terrorism.
"There is no way of knowing how many are out there. Today is a great wake-up call for the American people," Christie said.
The father of one suspect, Turkish-born Serdar Tatar, defended his son.
"I believe in my heart that my son is not guilty. I trust in U.S. law," said Tatar from his pizzeria in southern New Jersey.
Tatar said his son respects the military and even once wanted to become a policeman.
"He loves the United States," Tatar said.
The six suspects include three ethnic Albanian brothers, Dritan, Eljvir and Shain Duka, who officials said are illegal immigrants who lived in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Their Jordanian-born brother-in-law, Mohamad Shnewer, and two more men, Serdar Tatar, originally from Turkey, and Agron Abdullahu, also an ethnic Albanian, were the other suspects.

In the most extreme example of moonbatism I’ve ever heard, some fool called into Hannity today and said the Circuit City kid shouldn’t have turned in these Islamofascists.
My mother is a truck driver and she has serious concerns about the people she sees behind the wheel of big rigs these days. There are a growing number of eastern europeans driving truck in this country.
If Homeland Security spent a more time keeping illegals out and less time drawing up plans to force Americans to carry a national ID, perhaps this particular plot would not have advanced to the point it did.
What’s disturbing about this is that these guys don’t seem like the sharpest knives in the drawer - A little more intelligence and we have a major problem.
What`s sad about this is it took a video clerk to expose them, not racial profiling. I mean how many effin` 20 year old Mohammeds does it take to get someone say “Hey, you know what, but a lot of these psychos are 20 year olds named Mohammed.”
Tell me about it, of all things to attack. I could just picture these a-holes rushing in during target practice...”Private Pyle! Make pretend that target is Mohammed with an AK-47...Whoa, speak of the devil!”
“with three men being in the United States illegally, it would have proved difficult to get the necessary licenses.”
They could get those licenses in several states, none of which would check their legal status because it’s “not our job to enforce immigration laws.”
Hmmm...
Someone on another thread pointed out something really creepy. These guys - the ones who were illegal - lived here 23 YEARS! They were smuggled in as children. In other words, they essentially lived all of their lives in the US, went to US schools, and yet they still turned into raving jihadists, ready and willing to do anything, no matter how awful, to kill the Americans around them who they had grown up among.
Islam is a psychosis. You don’t even have to grow up in an Islamic country to have the sickness; all you have to be is Muslim.
Strange how these reports keep harping on ethnicity but continually forget to mention they were all mooooooooooslims !!!
Has there been a noticable drop in customers at the pizzeria?
Tatar said his son respects the military and even once wanted to become a policeman.
"He loves the United States," Tatar said.
Teach your children well, Muslim Tatar.
Only Fox News has ever referred to these bums using the ‘M’ word (Muslim). It’s the new ‘n’ word which will soon be banished as hate speech.
I'm glad they believed this, but I doubt they'd have encountered much difficulty if they'd actually tried.
I don’t that they all needed much training in shooting. Agron Abdullahu was a sharp shooter for the KLA.
Something tells me that caller will be getting a visit from the feds shortly. I doubt that any callers are allowed on the air without their phone number visible, and the netwok staff may even check the numbers online quickly to make sure it’s not a pay phone, before putting the caller on the air.
Friends of Bill & Hillary!
Unfortunately we need both. If you can’t ascertain who somebody IS, then you can’t ascertain who they aren’t. Though I think the only thing that would really work is a biometric ID database, so there would be nothing to carry, and no opportunity to forge cards. There’s no way our borders will ever be 100% sealed — they’re just too long, and al Qaeda has plenty of money to spend on sophisticated sneak-ins. Plus the growing number of extremist mosques and Islamic schools in the US guarantees that a significant number of US citizens will be brainwashed into believing this jihadist garbage.
Saw that.
The real question is "how good are KLA sharpshooters?".
Good by spray-and-pray standards, or sub-MOA good?
