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....
That article reads like satire. If I didn’t know better, I would think this couldn’t possibly be a serious story. Sadly, I know better. What a sad, deluded family.
I believe that the administration and Congress are aware of these verses, but to be PC you must not mention them. It is more important for politicians to gain the Muslim vote than to genuinely protect the nation against terrorism. We’re all in it together - we are multicultural, and don’t you forget it.
just spoke to my daughter and her husband says they never would have gotten in to Fort Dix, they have security measures at the gates, but hey you never know, listening to the news conference they were planning something big.
I see Tom Tancredo already out front on this one.
Thanks ~P~
they say the unsung hero is the man in the video store who initially reported this
Not totally clear on the concept, are they.
I think we should all tell him to as they say in NJ fuhgetaboudit Pres Bush. I see no reason to bring anymore of these people here where they can kill us or try to make us adapt to their way of life ~P~
Why? He has the money. Isn’t that all you need?
I think the press has lost its grip on reality in its desperate desire to deny the existence of terrorists.
—New Joisey?..........Get out now! It’s a quagmire!........(It really, really IS a quagmire).........—
So true - even the Devils are moving out of the “Meadowlands” and going to Newark.
When are people going to learn that you can’t trust these people? Islam is a true religion of hate and murder and they have to be stamped out.
Now why would that be?
—That’s what KRLA news called them...—
More commonly known as “KLA News”...

The schmuck from the sewer.
But of course...they were on “vacation”...as per their koran they are to always lie and deceive the infidels. Gotta love that “Religion of Peace”....
..”ethnic Albanians”... The damned Bush Administration profiling foreign workers.
...”and then HANG THEM”. Wishful, but inaccurate thinking. The ACLU and liberal attorneys are more than likely all over this case.
He has been in front on this issue for years.
