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 10s 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....
The others charged are Serdar Tatar of Philadelphia and Agron Abdullahu of Williamstown. One was born in Jordan, one in Turkey.
Kosovo-Albanians....!!!!
A little reminder...
"The people of Kosovo already the most pro-American in the Islamic world will provide a much-needed example of a successful US-Muslim partnership," wrote Senator Joseph Biden in the Financial Times.

You are kindly welcome GretchenM!
LOL...hey use your powers and give me some info. on some good IPO's...
The description of the suspects as Islamic militants renewed fears in New Jerseys Muslim community. Hundreds of Muslim men from New Jersey were rounded up and detained by authorities in the months following the 2001 attacks, but none was connected to that plot.
If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented many of the detainees. But when the government says Islamic militants, it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous.
Well, duh ... Truth hurts, doesn't it?
You got it. Too many people think being principled means turning their brain off at the door. ;-)
Is that code for a phone tap?
Somewhat...per the affidavit...in January 2006...a smart cookie at a photo lab who was making copies of a DVD with jihadi type images tipped off the authorities.
Your right most Americans really don’t get the fact that we are at war. And some believe if Bush would have just stayed out of Iraq the enemy would have let us alone. Remember it was Bush who brought down the twin towers he caused 911. The first President who has dared to fight back and the American people don’t get it. Steve Emerson was on msnbc this morning and he really laid it out about Iraq. We leave and Islamic terrorist will have their own state and oil and will take out Israel. He also warned about Iran and said any Presidential nominee who says they want to have open communications with Iran is just plain nuts.They want to have the whole world convert or die.And some people just don’t get it.
