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....
Or something far more cynical and sinister. For, if I admit there are terror cells in the USA, then I must admit that Bush is correct. And if I admit that, given that I have been discrediting Bush, and doing all I can to undermine the WOT, then I am a traitor. Etc.
Mussies for sure.
Damn. I hate the weenie media.
“Former residents of Ft Dix ping”
No kidding? A Fort Dix ping list? I spent 1983-84 there.
Actually...i WAS kidding. Cagey was stationed there once and our family lived there once, over in Sheridanville housing, in 90-92. (we were Navy) Youngest son was born while we lived there.
It's also what we were supposed to be doing in the pre-9/11 era but someone in CIA removed all it's teeth.
Today he promotes his book in which he tries to disclaim all his responsibility.
Try Tenet for Treason Now!
New Jersey is a quagmire.
Damn. I hate the weenie media.
Me too! ~Pandora~
“The weapons are locked up in arms rooms in barracks, and the ammunition is stored in bunkers half-way across post from the weapons.”
Do you work for the New York Times?
“Why? He has the money. Isnt that all you need?”
Gosh, firebrand....that was my first thought. (sadly)
Three of these scumbags are here ILLEGALLY - wake up America!
And, gee whiz, I hope the poor darlings’ constitutional rights were not violated in any way!/s
I reviewed the footage. It was the store owner, not a clerk, who tipped the local cops.
“Until these people manage to pull one off again the media wont take them seriously. Which is pathetic of course.”
lol...I think Paris Hilton whereabouts will still predominate the news.
They made a big fuss today about how “stupid” she was because of her spelling “sign” as “sihn” in an email....BIG DEAL....the g is next to the h on the keyboard....something the MSM doesn’t know? We all make those little mistakes! It should have been ignored, yet, it made the news! FOX or MSNBC...can’t remember which I was watching.
I think you’ll find that these fine folks did not put “Islamist” down on their Visa applications, when they even needed to apply.
