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....
Come visit...my invitation. You’ll like it. Let me know when.
Sorry! I didn't know,thanks!
I am not of that mind. This has been a problem long before Bush got here. I do not understand how so many of these people are known to be roaming around with no legitimate purpose of being here. My nephew was engaged to this girl from the UK (an elementary school teacher) and she had to follow all these rules. It was very difficult for her. I just don’t get it. But no, I don’t think this is Bush’s fault. A lot of those congress critters have been up there for decades, mostly the ones always pointing fingers.

Actually, that compliment goes to Alamo Girl.
Bump
Love the pic!
Has anyone gone to www.cubetv.com ?
They have a Koran song that is priceless.
After Dems take control of the white house, the patriot act will be used for political persecutions of people like us on this web site.
All freepers get ready for tax audits when Her Highness uses the patriot act to finger us.
There have been more than a few of these over the last few years in the PA, NJ, DE, MD & NY areas.
I am sure that any candidate could be found with questionable links. So I check their info. very carefully, just to make sure what exactly their links are to any special interest groups that I find to be questionable or anti-American. Always follow the money trail. Reminds me of Clinton and Albright’s photos with Yassir Arafat. The candidate I want is less beholden to any special interest group...someone who has the sense to close our borders!! Any GOP mailings I get...I write “Close Our Borders”...and return with no donation.
Hello JP...and thanks for your posts. Seems we have done this before....
Bush spends all his time pushing comprehensive immigration reform!
But Bush says illegal aliens are not a problem! /sarcasm

CBS3/AP) GOULDSBORO, Pa. While staying in the Pocono Mountains to practice at a state firing range, some of the men who allegedly planned to attack Fort Dix damaged their vacation rental with paintball pellets and drew the attention of security guards....
Inside the Poconos rental house, about 90 miles north-northwest of the Philadelphia area and New Jersey's Fort Dix, defendant Mohamad Shnewer played laptop computer videos that showed U.S. Military vehicles being attacked and destroyed, the federal affidavit said.
"Shain Duka pointed out that a United States Marine's arm had been blown off, at which point laughter erupted from the group," the affidavit said.
Ed Wilson, 66, a cemetery director from New Jersey who has had a second home at the resort for 20 years, said he remembered his wife telling him after 9/11 things would never be the same.
"Apparently, she was correct. No matter where we go in the United States, we'll have to keep looking over our shoulders or scrutinize the person standing next to you in the elevator," he said. "Beware America, I think we are really in trouble."
The shooting range used by the suspects is located down a dirt road in a remote, wooded area. On Tuesday, two men were practicing at the range.
"It's a little disturbing to know people like that are able to come around to my area and practice using weapons that they might use on our military," said Jude Pembleton, 32.
Steve Fefzchak said a person shooting a semiautomatic weapon wouldn't raise many eyebrows.
"It's definitely out in the middle of nowhere," he said. "It's game land, anybody can come here. Look at it, there's me and one other dude here. Who would even ask questions about it?"
Gouldsboro Tavern Owner Christi Wood says two of the men, Serdar Tatar and Agron Abdullahu frequented her bar, she last saw them four weeks ago.
"They came in sat down, had drinks, (one of the guys) even got into it with one of our customers because he's a very big patriot," said Wood.

So even while these Islamic Muslim Terrorists scumbags are here in our country..Illegally..they are planning to kill and maim our soldiers...and even "taunting" those who are Patriots. Our PC culture has gone waaaaayyy too far...there was a day when starting that type of taunting would have someone knock the snot out of these types of scumbags. Those who had the snot knocked out of them usually deserved it!
I agree. Only law-abiding Americans should be able to practice with weapons like that, so we can use them on people like that.
