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....
Until these people manage to pull one off again the media won’t take them seriously. Which is pathetic of course.
A big thanks to your husband AND you for your service.

Jan III Sobieski - King of Poland vs Islamic Ottoman Empire
September 11th, 1683, the day when an alliance of Christian armies led by Jan III Sobieski, the King of Poland, arrived at the Gates of Vienna.
It was then, at the last possible moment on the evening of September 11th, that Jan Sobieski arrived at a hill north of the city, leading a force of 40,000 Poles and their German and Austrian allies. The battle began soon afterwards, in the early morning hours of September 12th.
The siege was broken and city was saved. Jan III Sobieski was received as the hero of Vienna. Though it was not evident at the time, the Ottoman tide had turned at the Gates of Vienna and was about to recede, beginning its long withdrawal through the Balkans and Greece into Asia Minor over the next two centuries.
What is striking about Jan III Sobieski is the quality of his leadership. More important than arms, manpower, tactics, supplies, and even courage, leadership is what makes the difference in any war. When Jan Sobieski led his men down that hill into the Ottoman flank, it was his presence at the front of the charge that demonstrated his dauntless nature and absolute determination. Character cannot be faked, and men who recognize this kind of character in their leader will follow him into the gates of Hell.

We need to recall history and follow the lead of those like King Sobieski.
Mohammad Ibrahim Shnewer - if this guy is a convert, he may have taken his name from a “Palestinian” “martyr” killed by the Jooz. /s
Their self-admitted weakness is their families who remain impervious,
and they should be eaten by, buried with, or grafted into, pigs.
Press conference now.
I see your point. We have the same security measures (the walls/bollards installed to pop up). My neighbor is armed to the teeth, though. The past two years, I have felt very safe living next to him LOL. We have several mounted K-Bars at ready access...I wouldn’t go down without fighting to protect my kids. I know my dogs wouldn’t either. Let’s hope it would never come to that. I trust our guards. I feel secure on the bases I have lived on. I have to admit, here in Yuma, I would get frustrated at how seemingly over-zealous PMO tended to be with gate security. I won’t ever complain about it again. Reading this story has reminded me how grateful I am that they do such a great job.
“The philosophy that supports jihad”
ummm...you mean Islam?
Sick isn’t it? According to that operational definition, 9/11 was also “home grown!”
Four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one was born in Jordan and one came from Turkey, authorities said. All had lived in the United States for years. Three were in the United States illegally; two had green cards allowing them to stay in this country permanently; and the sixth is a U.S. citizen.
Moral of the story: Don’t order pizza from Islamists?
Family Reacts To Suspect Arrest In Terror Plot
Robin Rieger Reporting
(CBS 3) CHERRY HILL Family members were shocked when police burst into their Camden County home Monday night to arrest a man suspected in an alleged terror plot to attack Fort Dix.
Neighbors said authorities stormed a home on Tampa Avenue in Cherry Hill after the arrest of alleged terror plot suspect Mohamad Shnewer.
The home, which reportedly was the location of the Lamis Cab Company, was searched for over three hours. Israa Shnewer said her brother, who was born in Jordan, was working legally in the United States. He just comes and sleeps here during the daytime. He goes back to work in the evening, stays all night as a cab driver and thats it, thats his life said Israa Shnewer.
Israa said her father-in-law and brother-in-law were also briefly detained after authorities entered their Cherry Hill home. The had the flashlights in our eyes and they were like searching like they dont trust us, he said. Sources said Mohamad Shnewer was arrested while inside his cab at Philadelphia International Airport.
Court documents said Shnewer, who lived in Pennsauken with his aunt, often went to a shooting range in the Poconos with at least 9 other suspects. His sister believes Shnewer was targeted because of his race and religion.
The Poconos, its a vacation, they go there for vacation. Thats it, seriously, Israa Shnewer said. They go there, they shoot a little at the shooting range, they want to have fun. I mean, theyre guys.
A FBI complaint states Shnewer told a cooperating witness they would need 6 to 7 men to kill approximately 100 soldiers at Fort Dix using rocket propelled grenades and various firearms.
They are always “shocked,” aren’t they?
I just checked CAIR. Not a word. Not a sound. No crickets.... nuthin’.
They were planning to hit in Delaware & Philly also
“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.”
All hard targets. Imagine what is going to happen when they start aiming at soft targets?
“No, our adorable little Mohamad? Never.... he’s such a good boy....”
BARRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFF! [triple bagger]
“..we see no reason to detain these citizens.”
At least get rid of the illegal aliens. The terrorists with the green cards can stay.
