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

POSTED: 6:41 am EDT May 8, 2007

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 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....

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency says that by 1998, Kosovo Albanians had become the second most important group on the Balkan route, after the Turkish mafia. “Kosovo Albanians make the perfect mafia — even better than the Sicilians,” said Marko Nicovic, vice-president of the New York-based International Narcotics Enforcement Agency.

DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON
SECTION: THE STORY OF A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE
SUBSECTION: DRUGS
Revised 1/8/01

NewsMax.com 11/3/00 Carl Limbacher “…… New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he believes that an allegation Vice President Al Gore once tried to pressure a friend to lie about his past drug use should “cancel out” any negative impact of Thursday night’s revelation that Texas Governor George Bush may have been less than candid about being stopped in 1976 for drunk driving. Guiliani made the comment on Fox News Channel’s Hannity & Colmes Friday night:
HANNITY: Is it legitimate, when we have Al Gore’s best friend on tape saying that he was a regular pot smoker, that he asked him to lie about it if the press came to him — which he did; if they’re going to draw this blood is it then fair game for everybody?
GIULIANI: Maybe the thing to do is that it cancels — let’s cancel this all out and go back to who do you think is going to make a better president. ………
Minutes before Giuliani’s remark, Hannity played an audiotape from an interview of former Gore friend John C. Warnecke, Jr. conducted in September by WLAC Nashville, Tennessee talk radio host Phil Valentine. …..
VALENTINE: Was (Gore) doing more than marijuana when you were with him or was it just pot?
WARNECKE: Well, we smoked hashish together and we smoked a type of marijuana called “Thai sticks.” That’s a special high-grade marijuana that comes wrapped in a special stick from Thailand. And what they do is, after they wrap it around a stick they dip it in opium. So it’s an opium-laced marijuana.
VALENTINE: Now you’re asserting that Al Gore continued the drug use after you stopped 20 years ago.
WARNECKE: I’ll tell you the story. I know I smoked with him one time while he was actually campaigning.
VALENTINE: For Congress?
WARNECKE: For Congress, the first time around.
VALENTINE: That would be in ‘76?
WARNECKE: ‘76, correct. ……
Gore has claimed publicy that he stopped using drugs in 1972. …….”

They didn’t actually attack any base or harm anyone so it’s just speculation on the federal government’s part and since nobody actually committed any crime, we see no reason to detain these citizens. Nothing to see here, move along...

Some areas in the Poconos have changed radically. Be very careful prior to renting or purchasing. Drugs, gang-bangers, and criminals who have chosen this wooded quiet area to call home.

The War for Infinite Justice SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESCALATED IN 2001

Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”

On that same note, remember how WWII pilots would paint a symbol on the side of their plane for each enemy plane they shot down. Imagine if you will that Bush could not do the same with Air Force One. For each terrorist plot foiled because of his policies he gets a new symbol painted on the side , and if the plot was supposed to be on American soil it would be a special symbol. The side of Air force One would look pretty awesome by now. But in reality most of these foiled plots we never here about because of National Security.

CAMDEN, N.J. — Six people were arrested on Monday in connection with an alleged plot to murder soldiers at Fort Dix, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey, said the men are from the former Yugoslavia and were planning to “kill as many soldiers as possible.” Five of them lived in Cherry Hill, he said.

Drewniak said the six were scheduled to appear in federal court in Camden later Tuesday to face charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. servicemen.

During a secret meeting, the men allegedly attempted to purchase AK-47s from an arms dealer working with the FBI and were arrested in New Jersey after officials learned of the plans, a law enforcement source said.

The undercover investigation followed the men, three of whom are brothers, from New Jersey to the Poconos, where they allegedly practiced firing automatic weapons, media sources said.

Officials raided the homes of the men, described as Islamic radicals, and said there is video showing some of the alleged planning.

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because documents in the case remain sealed, said the men were arrested as part of a joint federal and local investigation.

The officials said the attack was stopped in the planning stages.

A news conference was planned for 2:30 p.m. ET.

You might be surprised how soft Fort Dix, NEW JERSEY is. Thanks to the state and the Army, there probably wouldn’t have been a single armed soldier outside the cop shop. Just like Virginia Tech.
