Fort Dix murder plot foiled, 6 arrested

FORT DIX, N.J., May 8 (UPI) -- An FBI sting has resulted in the arrest of six Albanian men who were allegedly plotting a killing spree at the U.S. Army's Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Sources who asked not to be identified told the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger the arrests were made Monday night in two locations as the suspects showed up to purchase AK-47 assault rifles.

The report said an arms dealer agreed to cooperate in the sting that foiled a plot to kill as many soldiers as possible at the base.

The arrests were made at two homes in the Cherry Hill area, and several of the suspects were from the same family, the sources said.

There was no immediate report on the motive for the attack, which a source told CNN was well into the surveillance and planning mode.

It'll be interesting to see Prisonplanets twist on this story.

Have a good one!:s4:

This was a plot by Bush and the rest of the Republicans to save face in the news and get more funding approved for the illegal Iraq war. blah blah blah blah

I am glad I got the 2nd post on this thread, I am curious how long it'll be before people are stating the bullshit I was quoting above.

CNN is calling them Islamic radicals, wow they got it right!

I really don't think anyone will come on here saying something stupid like that.

this should be moved to conspiracy...certainly fits the bill...i'm sure there's a doublethink answer why it shouldn't be...but this is a conspiracy...

no, but anyone can claim that, and it's a good strawman...

I thought Albania was an ally, one of the coalition of 5-7 countries that sent a couple a troops to Iraq, like Japan and their 25 troops, big help those allies, eh? Especially if their citizens want to kill our soldiers.

I know, 120, what a fucking joke. And those are probably some no combat zone monkeys!

I for one am glad that this was foiled, and I don't think it was a conspiracy. I think time magazine said there were something like 14,000 (I could be wrong by a factor of 10, it's either 14k or 1.4k) terrosit attacks in the world a year (sadly with 45% of them being in Iraq or something like that). Regardless, terrorism is and always has been a problem, it's good to see when such acts are halted.

Let me get my tin-foil hat on here.....................6 men were gonna attack a military base, did they have boxcutters as well. :rolleyes: :upsidedow i buy that for a dollar
