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....
Yep, a lot of blond haired blue eyed Albanians and mostly Muslim to boot which is what makes this WOT nerve wracking.
They had drinks? Hypocrites!
At 200 pounds, I wonder if the robber was female. Who would know?
There has been many ethnic Albanians settling in this area the last ten years. WOW, incredible.
I’d prefer one who doesn’t remind me of Carter.
No need to take in more. Let’s kick some out.
Heard O’Reilly mention that the AP and NBC news has made no mention of the three illegal aliens.
Hope this story starts people to finally take this issue seriously and do something about it.
Reminds me of the Martin brothers in the Bugs Bunny cartoon: "Hillbilly Hare"
Here's a link to that cartoon video. The best Bugs Bunny cartoon ever, IMHO.
Under the hate crimes law, verbally challenging a jihadist could be a crime!
Thank you so much for your encouragements!
Exactly. We only caught them because we were "spying on Americans". I mean Armenians. I mean don't they have civil rights? Boo frickin' hoo.
I don’t think that’s a secret...

Can’t get anything here....
It gets even worse. Last year I was at a TGI: Friday's for dinner with my wife. Place was crowded and the only available booth was right next to the bar. RIGHT NEXT. So we sit and we're looking at the menus and my "spidey sense" starts tingling. I cue in my hearing to listen to the conversation of the three loud drunks that have taken seats literally an arm's distance from us. They're all from the M.E. and they introduce themselves to one another. One is a Palestinian, one is an Iraqi and one is Iranian. Gee three of the world's finest citizens! They're really drunk and the Americans sitting next to them and all around them ignore what is being said. But me, I pay attention. I'm staring into the eyes of the enemy.
They order several rounds of shots. The first toast? DEATH TO ISRAEL! The second toast? DEATH TO AMERICA! And finally: ALLAH-HU AKBAR! JIHAD! Nothing. No reaction from anybody. I'm seething, but calm outwardly. Thanking God my best friend isn't present or maybe wishing he was. LTC of Special Forces and Jewish to boot? They'd all be dead before they hit the floor.
Then they settle down to some serious drinking. The topic of conversation? The sweet taboo of raping jewish women. My wife is now getting pretty agitated. So I move her to another table and I wander outside. I'm looking for a particular person.
The off duty cop who acts as mall security. I find him with about five other cops just outside. I explain the situation and say that these guys are spewing some pretty vile things. The astonishing reply was that the cops can't do much since most of the arabs at the University of Miami are there under Diplomatic Immunity.
I said that they were so drunk that I feared for the lives of my family while on the road home. That struck a chord. So when we left, there were three units hovering around waiting for a decent DUI bust that they knew would get kicked but still give them the stat and a chance to remind the enemy that folks here at home still pay attention to threats uttered against our homeland.
Thanks Ex...just a sickening amount of disregard for our safety by law enforcement, who sound like they have been “trained” by these arabs with diplomatic immunity to be passive based on previous encounters. I have heard this same type of LE apathy in areas near D.C. and NY; where there is a large enough diplomatic community to warrent them knowing how to act like thugs without consequence. Can you imagine if we were to ever attempt to act in such a way in public in their countries?! At some point not all of the arabs in a certain area would be diplomats...maybe just thugs taking advantage of LE in the U.S.
PHILADELPHIA - May 9, 2007 - The 6 suspects in the terror ambush plotted for Fort Dix are due back in court Friday. But Action News has learned more details about the plan, and how the suspects intended to protect their families.
The men remain held at the Philadelphia federal detention center without bail. During a federal court appearance in Camden Friday, a judge will hear arguments on whether or not to set a bail amount
. A federal source tells us that the group intended to move their families out of the country, before carrying out a commando-style murder spree at Fort Dix in New Jersey. In fact, Action News found that some of those relatives are already gone.
The six men are of Eastern European and Middle Eastern descent. Three are in the country illegally; two had green cards, the sixth is a U.S. American citizen. Five of them are charged with conspiracy to kill U-S military personnel.
The other, 24-year-old Agron Abdullahu, is charged with trying to obtain weapons for illegal immigrants. Abdullahu was a supervisor at a bakery in South Jersey. A co-worker says he spoke fondly of the leader of al-Qaeda. "He used to make jokes about how the U.S. Government could not find his uncle Benny referring to Bin ladenOsama Bin Laden," according to Bob Watts, a former co-worker, "...used to call him his uncle Benny."
Ironically, Abdullahu and his family are from Kosovo. The U.S. government gave them protection from the Serbs, during the Kosovo War in the late 1990s. "He never really came out and said he had a hatred towards Americans and I told him many times, 'Look, you would have been left there if it wasn't for us helping you out.' And if Clinton didn't bring them in, he never would have had the chance that he had. And this is how he repays us," Watts told Action News reporter Dann Cuellar.
Our source also says he is not surprised that the group's targets would be limited to soldiers. Another site that was considered for an attack: last year's Army Navy game in Philadelphia. Authorities say the group abandoned that idea because they weren't ready.
Finally, investigators will not reveal the identity of a video store clerk they are calling the unsung hero of the case. The clerk called authorities more than a year ago, when one of the suspects asked him to transfer video to a DVD. The video featured 10 men shooting weapons at a firing range and calling for jihad. Four of the men in the video who were not arrested, remain under a cloud of suspicion.
Our source tells us prosecutors are far from done. They are looking to obtain enough evidence to pursue terrorism charges, which would carry higher prison terms.
What a hair-raising story. I’m glad you were quick-thinking enough to be able to give the cops some cause to look at these guys.
The thing that really stuns me is how arrogant these Muslims are. They’re incredibly cocksure and incredibly blatant and they know that nothing is going to happen to them for it.
The MSM and our voiceless President is keeping this quiet at the moment. Not holding breath.
