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.

Terror Suspects Arrested In N.J. After FBI Foils Fort Dix Attack

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....
“From what I saw on the news one of them was a pizza delivery man who had access.You show your ID and then get in.I wonder how they all thought they would get in.”
Yes...I just was discussing it with my daughter on Yahoo messenger. She saw the “pizza delivery” plan on the news. I haven’t seen it yet. I could see how that would have worked. I just couldn’t understand how they could have “stormed” the entrance/entrances without being shot.
What other group of immigrants have been behind more plots to kill Americans than the Muslims?
“From what I saw on the news one of them was a pizza delivery man who had access.You show your ID and then get in.I wonder how they all thought they would get in.”
Why I haven’t seen it yet....the news seems to be concentrating on Kansas and why the search/rescue/rebuilding is hampered because the equipment is in Iraq.
FORT DIX, N.J. (AP) - May 8, 2007 - Claiming they were ready to die in the name of Allah, six Islamic militants from Yugoslavia and the Middle East plotted to attack the Fort Dix Army base and "kill as many soldiers as possible," authorities said Tuesday.
The suspects, who also spoke of attacking U.S. warships that might dock in Philadelphia, were arrested Monday night, and were to appear before a federal judge Tuesday afternoon.
"This was a serious plot put together by people who were intent on harming Americans," U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said. "We're very gratified federal law enforcement was able to catch these people before they acted and took innocent life."
One suspect reportedly spoke of using rocket-propelled grenades to kill at least 100 soldiers at a time, according to court documents.
Christie said one of the suspects worked at Super Mario's Pizza in nearby Cookstown and delivered pizzas to the base, using that opportunity to scout out the possible attack.
"Clearly, one of the guys had an intimate knowledge of the base from having been there delivering pizzas," Christie said.
Definitely the Seventh Day Adventists.
They are democrat voters for life! 8-) and the ACLU is probably lining up to protect their civil rights!
So are they citizens?...illegals?...what kind of visas did they have? Don’t tell me they are “students”.
When the terrorists are convicted and go to jail, don’t worry, when they get out, they will be able to vote. I know that puts MY mind at ease. /s
Super Mario’s Pizza in NJ is what I heard.
LOL...thanks for a good laugh this afternoon..
No problem, glad you liked it!
By comparison: there are currently two or three dozen separate, active threads over there right now, damning Tony Snow to Hell and back again.
Honestly. You couldn't even make up something like this, could you...? ;)

As usual they don’t pay attention to the important stories. The only breaking stories they care about contain, Hillary, Obama, Gore, global warming mis-information, and Barbara Streisand. They are such parasites.
The willfully blind useful idiots.
Maine is crawling with them.
