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.

Terror Suspects Arrested In N.J. After FBI Foils Fort Dix Attack

UPDATED: 7:31 am EDT May 8, 2007
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....
I wonder how many other groups are out there like this?
Good thing for us they’re mostly stupid and make mistakes.
I am waiting to hear how they came into the country as if they would tell us the truth anyway.
It almost would have been better if they had stormed the base because they would have had their butts whipped and that might have scared this country into stopping the illegal immigration. We need a BIG scare to remind everyone what we're fighting. Also, I’m waiting for all the congresscritters to sing cumbaya on the Capital steps again. /not
Why didn't they throw them out like the restaurant owner threw OJ out of in Kentucky!!!
Every establishment has the right to refuse service etc.

OK, so “there is no evidence the accused Ft. Dix plotters received direction from international foreign terrorist organizations.”
And, as many in the MSM are noting, they do not appear to be highly trained professionals. Thats true also of others arrested since 9/11 (e.g. Richard Reid and the cells in Buffalo, NY and Florida).
What is not being mentioned: This could be a very positive sign. It could mean that weve eliminated many of the most skilled and experienced terrorists, many of the most qualified terrorist trainers and international ring masters that weve either killed them or imprisoned them at Guantanamo or at some secret prison somewhere.
We want our enemies to be amateurish. One way to ensure that is to keep killing or capturing those who ascend to the top of the ladder, to get them while they are still learning their tradecraft, to be so on top of them that their first mistake becomes their last mistake. How discouraging that will be to others who aspire to commit acts of spectacular terrorism.
The terrorists who bombed the WTC in 1993 were not very good at their jobs. Over the next 8 years, al Qaeda climbed a steep learning curve while U.S. intelligence analysts, covert operatives, military and law enforcement officers did little to prevent it.
If weve learned from that, good for our side, good for Bush and the CIA and the FBI and others all of us criticize.

...while US intelligence and the FBI slid DOWN the learning curve, thanks to the RATS.
As they behave in "peace" so might they behave in battle and it is going to cost them dearly. Let's hope so. Especially when the Jihad begins here on home soil, for real.
You don’t want too much, you speak for a lot of people. And Dubya’s indifference to what average Americans want regarding refugees and immigration is a big reason he polls so low.
“I wonder how many other groups are out there like this?”
Have no fear; we are fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan so that we would not have to fight them here at home. The Muslims we allow in are all very trustworthy and peaceful. Just ask Jorge, Condi and all those politicians who have kept their mouths shut on this problem.
Some people have been warning about this for a while:

Nope.
“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.”
OMG!
There should be more outrage IMHO...just based on how much these guys weren’t entirely in the shadows. They showed themselves and their intentions to enough people; and put innocent people in harms way with their acts.
I know exactly where this is, as children we went to Tobyhanna State Park with friends and family while on vacation.
Thanks RB for the info. and the link.
I live a stone’s throw from these terrorists. NJ sucks on a lot of levels but it’s a breeding ground and home for many terrorists, along with corrupt politicians.
Some lived in Cherry Hill, a relatively affluent area. And a stone’s throw from Marlton. Yet, many still don’t believe terrorists live among us, hate us. They’re all around, where one leasts expects it. Many still don’t accept or believe that Islam is not a religion of peace. I don’t care what CAIR says, and they can label me a bigot, them and anyone else, all they want. I’m tired of their complaints about being singled out, hell, my 16 yr old daughter is singled out every time we fly and we deal with it. I’m glad we have those security measures but I’d also like them to focus more on those that resemble those who would do us harm. But I’ll gladly stand in long lines if our security is at stake.
I drove by the houses/addresses listed of the *alleged* terrorists many times and made a point to do so today. I watched the interview of a relative last night, a woman in that scarf thing, stating how her relative wasn’t a terrorist, was a nice person and how horrible law enforcement was for the way they behaved when they *stormed* their house the other night. How horribly they were treated by the FBI. Cry me a freakin’ river. Most of these people are here illegally yet they use our system to their benefit and we continue to allow them to do so. and some are here legally but haven’t assimilated and expect the rest of us to adhere to their culture/religious traditions. Again, cry me a freakin’ river. It’s all excuses.
I’m outraged but it seems not many are. I will never understand this. On 9-11, and immediately following, we came together but that didn’t last long at all. Here we have arrested terrorists, planning to kill as many at Fort Dix as possible, and it’s not the main news story. NJ is prominent for these terrorists, yet, it’s no big deal. I guess they need to kill a few thousand before the country takes notice or it’s the lead story on the news.
I have terrorists in my backyard, like many do, yet we still do nothing about it. Islam is a religion of peace and illegal aliens should get Amnesty. Right.
Someone posted here and said something about how many were willing to fight, etc. I can’t do much but I will fight to the death, use my registered gun to protect myself and my family. My fear is most of America doesn’t realize the danger and won’t until it’s too late. There is way too much apathy in this country.
“One drove a cab, three were roofers. Another worked at a 7-Eleven and a sixth at a supermarket.”
All those years we joked about muslims working at these jobs,....and there you go. Moral of the story,....
Cabdriver
7-eleven clerk
Supermarket clerk
For a really chilling read...check out a quick google search for Sharia Law under the News section...The UK and many other countries are adopting Sharia Laws at an alarming rate:
