From NBC10.com:
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.Living and training in New Jersey and Pennsylvania!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 have spent a significant amount of time living and training in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, according to authorities.
All six men were expected to face terror conspiracy charges Tuesday in federal court in Camden, N.J.
Update by Rusty: Newark Star Ledger, via Allahpundit:
The men - several of whom were in the same family - had videotaped their practice sessions in the Poconos, the source said. That videotape, in which they railed against America, led to their arrests.Dumb jihadis--the best kind!The men made the mistake of bringing it to a retail store seeking to get a copy burned to a DVD, according to one of the sources. A store employee who later watched the tape called the FBI who began immediately investigating.
The article also notes the six practiced by using paintball guns. Hmmmm, sounds familiar.
Allah seems to think that these guys aren't al Qaeda. But I think that misses the point of al Qaeda 3.0. Anyone can be "al Qaeda" now just by claiming to be, that's the nature of a non-hierarchical network.
Besides that, focusing on whether or not a particular terrorist cell is being directed by Ayman al-Zawahiri unintentionally misleads the public into thinking our only global enemy is "al Qaeda". It's not. It's the global jihad network.
Anyway, hopefully we'll get a comment of two from our own Jane, who blogs from New Jersey.
UPDATE II by Rusty: Confederate Yankee has a media roundup.
UPDATE III by Rusty: Jane is having computer problems this morning, but chimes in here.
UPDATE IV by Rusty: Michelle Malkin notes that a) 3 of the plotters are illegal alilens and b) that Fort Dix had been used extensively Ethnically Albanian refugees from Kosavo which is stunning.
UPDATE V by Mike: The six men under arrest are identified as Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka, Shain Duka, Serdar Tatar, Agron Abdullahu and Mohamad Shnewer. According to reports, one is from Jordan, one is from Turkey and the rest are ethnic Albanians.

Where's the outcry from the peaceful, moderate followers of mohammed?
Oh. That's right. Their voices aren't allowed to be heard.

Did those idiots think they were just going to waltz right onto an ARMY BASE and just have their way? Sorry dumbasses, this ain't Beslan or VT. People on a base will probably shoot back. I don't find this very alarming. I don't think they would have gotten very far in their aspirations to kill "as many as possible". If they were planning to do this at a local Wal-Mart or shopping mall, that would be alarming.

look for the video store employee and his company get sued for violating privacy, free speech and racial discrimination. Watch the ACLU and CAIR jump in and win.
These clowns won't do any time and end up Moslem heroes.

What a joke--these men were prepared to die, like all other terrorists who blow up innocence, maim children, and slit throats...there is no mercy for such types, bring swift justice to them.

And damn, that Jihadi was extremely stupid for bringing the DVD to a retail store.

Had never seen the "sounds familiar" story before but one other thing sounded familiar in that story.....the person testifying ( who himself is a jihadi who was going to fight with the Taliban against the US) against the Imam is a South Korean born graduate (degree in Engineering) from Virginia Tech. Quite a coincidence!! How could a person from South Korea ever have muslim ties.......completelely unheard of.....
Speaking of which, anyone heard anything new on the Cho investigation? Any new information on what else is in the multi-media manifesto? Can't believe there hasn't been a peep in a couple of weeks.......absolutely nothing going on with the investigation?

I guess there are going to be more arrests in this terror plot. As many as 10. One had rented a home at the Poconos which is where they trained.

The description of the suspects as “Islamic militants†was causing renewed worry among New Jersey’s Muslim community. Hundreds of Muslim men from New Jersey were rounded up and detained by authorities in the months following the Sept. 11 attacks, but none was connected to that plot.“If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law,†said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented scores of detainees after the 2001 attacks. “But when the government says ‘Islamic militants,’ it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous.
“Don’t equate actions with religion,†he said.......Well hell yes!!!

Would that be the East Texas part of Texas? We seem to be getting a ton of them around here.
