U.S.: Fort Dix Attack Plot Suspects Promoting Terror in Jail
Fox News ^ | December 12, 2007

HADDONFIELD, New Jersey — Federal authorities say one of the men accused of planning an attack on soldiers at the Fort Dix army base gave another inmate in a federal detention center an Al Qaeda recruitment video and another wrote a note referring to the fight "we weren't able to finish."

The U.S. Attorney's Office made the allegations in a brief filed in U.S. District Court late Tuesday to oppose the suspects' request to be granted bail. A lawyer for one of the men said the government is misrepresenting an incident...The five men — all foreign-born Muslims in their 20s — were arrested in May and charged with conspiring to kill uniformed military personnel. Authorities said they planned to sneak onto Fort Dix, a base in New Jersey used primarily to train reservists for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. There was no attack, however. A sixth man later pleaded guilty to providing weapons to some of the five charged in the alleged conspiracy.

In the legal filing, the government said Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer gave another inmate a copy of an Al Qaeda-produced DVD last month. Guards found the disc in a book in the detention center's law library. Government lawyers said in the filing that "the fact the defendant Shnewer and, perhaps, his co-conspirators may be spreading jihadist recruitment videos to other inmates clearly raises grave security concerns for the warden, and, again, supports the reasonableness of continued administrative detention for these defendants."...

The government also said that suspect Eljvir Duka and another inmate were passing notes. In one note, the government said, Duka wrote, "Now you see why we were going to sacrifice all for the sake of Allah in jihad" and referred to the fight "we weren't able to finish."...

Yes, they were planning an Amish barn-raising.

Yeah, my first thought was how the heck does an Al Queda video even get into a jailhouse?

Well, you can take the islamonazi out of the jihad but you can’t take the jihad out of the islamonazi.

How long until the dhimms start calling for his release?

Of the five foreign-born Mohammedans one was from Jordan, one was from Turkey, and three from the former Yugoslavia. The article does not say what their immigration or visa status is or how long each has been in America.

This case is of interest because our military posts are still vulnerable with most soldiers, NCOS, even senior NCOs, and officers going unarmed throughout the day. It seems these conspirators knew this and planned on getting onto Fort Dix to just start shooting down unarmed soldiers.

Yep those serious weapons are nice but even a little pimp gun helps put a lot of Murphy’s Law into bad guy plans during building invasions.

The Yugoslavs are illegals. From earlier Fox story: Three brothers charged in the alleged Fort Dix terror plot have been living illegally in the U.S. for more than 23 years ... A federal law enforcement source confirmed to FOX News that the three — Dritan "Anthony" or "Tony" Duka, 28; Shain Duka, 26; and Eljvir "Elvis" Duka, 23 — also accumulated 19 traffic citations, but because they operated in "sanctuary cites," ...The brothers entered the United States near Brownsville, Texas, in 1984, the source said, which would put their ages at 1 to 6 when they crossed the border. The source said there is no record of them entering by way of a regular border crossing, so they are investigating whether they were smuggled into the country.

When you get put in prison, you lose your right to vote, have guns, and you only keep the rights to “fair trial”. That doesn’t include preaching, or inciting riots (a freedom of speech issue).

Tell them to STFU.

I personally know of a case where a man in jail for stalking, harassing and violating restraining orders etc. etc. etc. spent, and is likely still spending, his time in jail calling the victim, writing paper letters to the victim and having them mailed from the jail.

Regularly.

The inmates are running the asylum, or darn near anyway.
