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....
Liberals never learn. Bush should shout this find from the roof tops...In the meantime, the Queen has left the building.

What does money have to do with saying NO WE DON’T WANT ANYMORE OF THESE PEOPLE IN THE USA? I think its plain out & out bs that we have to accept these people here. How many Americans will end up dead or hurt over people that we do not owe anything to or even want to live the American way of life?
According to CNN radio, this was “not terror related.”
IN a sense they are true to form. Consider the fact that Muslims believe non muslims are the terrorists and they are the “liberators”-—we see this in the doublespeak of cacademics and Communist revolutionary ideology of the past (and even the present).
Corzine might run for President.
“This is serious. It could be your state next...”
I didn’t say the potential assult was funny just, the fact it was in a gun-grabbin state like NJ.
It has already almost happened in my state. (Texas). A plot to attack Ft. Hood was foiled a few years back.
Yes, he is. And I was incorrect on my suggestion that one of them might have taken his name from a so-called Pali martyr. It appears to be the family name.
Makes you go “hmmm...”

“Police search for woman in bank robbery
April 13, 2007”
snip
“The word “BOMB” was written on the note the woman handed the teller, police said.”
snip
“She is described as an adult female between 5 feet 5 and 5 feet 7 inches tall, about 200 pounds, wearing eyeglasses and a black Muslim-type dress with a veil covering her face and head.”
“We need to recall history and follow the lead of those like King Sobieski.”
In order to do that Christians will first have to grow balls.
Some of them are American citizens, some of them are legal alien residents, and some of them are illegal aliens.
Yet they formed a cell to terrorize Americans in the name of Jihad, so that is their common denominator. Most of the wire exerpts on this thread keep focusing on their alien or illegal status. They did not sneak across our borders, but either are citizens or residents OR are in violation of our current immigration laws.
President Bush is not ICE. He is not to blame for everyone here who is doing something wrong to threaten American. He is WRONG about the border issue, although we do need some kind of official worker program but not his details. Anyway, in so many ways he has stood tall to protect us in this WOT.
But this thread is loaded with people who bash and bash and bash this man. I’m sick of it. I don’t know you and whether you’re of that mind or not. What on earth is going to become of us if we play into our enemies’ hands by accusing our President of every blankety blank thing in the book?
And I include the Dems and Media and Newsweek pollsters in “our enemies”.
“Three were in the United States illegally..”
Is it still allowed to ask if someone is here illegally? Are these terrorists going to be included in the upcoming blanket amnesty?
Would you advertise it if you were involved?

Fort Dix Plot Has Poconos Tie (camp photo here)
“Investigators said the men stayed at a home near Gouldsboro and trained for the attack on state game lands near the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Monroe County.”
snip
“Authorities said beginning February first one member of the group rented a home at the Big Bass Lake gated community 2717 Eagles View Drive in Covington Township, Lackawanna County. That is roughly 130 miles from Fort Dix.
On February 2 authorities said they videotaped the defendants involved in firearms training in the state game lands near Tobyhanna Army Depot. The game lands are in the Brady’s Lake area of Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County.”
Sadly many Americans will not "dodge a bullet" as Fort Dix did today as more Americans are killed by illegal alien crime than by terrorism in Iraq.
Maybe not in this thread, but those Freepers are not forgotten both those of us paying attention.
Corzine might run for President.
Hmm I don’t see anything that man has done for NJ yet. I don’t see how he can.
