Terror Arrests in Fort Dix Plot FORT DIX, N.J.
May 8, 2007 - Six ethnic Albanians have been arrested in a plot to storm the Fort Dix installation in Burlington County.
Five of the suspects were arrested in Cherry Hill. They will be arraigned later today in federal court. Officials say it will happen in either in Camden or Newark.
Investigators say the suspects planned to use automatic weapons to storm the base and kill solders. The men were lured into a secret meeting to purchase AK-47s from an arms dealer, who was secretly cooperating with the FBI.
Officials say the suspects worked on a number of targets, including the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, Fort Monmouth in Eatontown, and several Coast Guard stations.
Federal agents made the arrests when the suspects zeroed in on Fort Dix.
Officials say some of the suspects were caught on tape.

A tip helped authorities arrest six New Jersey men Monday night in connection to an apparent terror cell, according to NBC 10’s sister station WNBC in New York.
Five of them were arrested in Cherry Hill, according to reports.
Investigators said the men planned to use AK-47s to storm Fort Dix and open fire on soldiers and civilians stationed at the New Jersey base, noting that other military locations were scouted by the terrorist cell.
Three of the unnamed suspects are brothers who are all believed to be Islamic radicals, according to sources. Some of the six arrested men were also born in Albania and the former Yugoslavia, but they have spent a significant amount of time in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, according to authorities.

NEW YORK -- Six men from New Jersey have been arrested in an alleged terror plot against soldiers at Fort Dix, according investigators.
Investigators said the men planned to use automatic weapons to enter Fort Dix and kill as many soldiers as they could at the N.J. base. Fort Dix was just one of several military and security locations allegedly scouted by this group, authorities said.
Investigators told Newschannel 4's Jonathan Dienst that these arrests are the result of a tip to the FBI and use of an informant to track the suspects. The terror suspects traveled over the last several months from New Jersey to the Poconos where they practiced firing automatic weapons, investigators said.
Investigators said the group discussed targeting numerous locations like Dover Air base, Fort Monmouth and several Coast Guard stations before deciding on Fort Dix as their intended target. Fort Dix is run in part by the Army and is a reserve-training center, but active units take part in training, including some which focuses on counter-terrorism....
Former residents of Ft Dix ping.
Thanks, I’m very bad in the morning and this was the very reason I was afraid to post it.
Live and learn.
You’re very kind.
Thanks. If I ever make it to Nebraska I'll make a point of visiting. I'm in Alabama and I still need to visit the Army Aviation Museum in Fort Rucker as well as the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. I pass within 40 miles of Fort Rucker at least once a year, but my wife is always with me and she doesn't care for that stuff.
Of course, we need more immigration, not less. MOre visa’s we can’t follow! /s
I live in Ocean County but I keep a trailer in New Greta for weekends & summer use. I am there most weekends now. I love it down there and would move there if I could.
Eglin AFB, FL near Ft. Walton Beach has a very nice museum as well. It’s right on the highway, no ID needed.
No, Hillary has made it a goal to let prisoner's vote. So it will be no prob. In fact, probably will get 12 votes, one from each of their lawyers also.
-they are voters for eternity....since when does a death stop a dem from voting? -AND they can vote from jail....gees! Get the dem playbook. LOL
Fox and Friends reminding us that Dix was used in 99 to house refugies from Kosovo.
We so bad. Guess the spaghetti was cold. Its always our fault you know. /os
I love NJ as well.
I never fail to be amazed at the absurdities the MSM will go through just to avoid the "M" word.
The reporter from the Gannett didn’t think it was a joke.
Excellent point, fom.
NO! I and we are sick of their destruction, their insistance on their religious habits, and their lack of assimilation to the American way. Why can’t we weed out these cancerous people? Freedom of religion does not mean killing off the folks that do not agree with you. That is pushing our freedom concept.

New Gretna, huh. Then you have eaten at Allen’s Clam Bar. If you haven’t try their rice pudding try it.
Usually we get the soft shell crab sandwiches on our way in. I will try the rice pudding, so far I’ve just had the key lime pie. Somebody told me to try the prime rib at the Lower Bank Inn too.
Hittin’ kinda close to home for me. I was just thinking how my daughter, when she comes home from college for the summer, will without doubt wind up at the Cherry Hill Mall sooner or later.
