6 Arrested in New Jersey on Plot to Attack U.S. Base

HeadlineMay 09, 2007

In New Jersey, six people have been arrested on allegations of plotting to attack the U.S. military base at Fort Dix. Prosecutors say the accused monitored the base and planned to use rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons.

New Jersey U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie: “Through the amazing efforts of these law enforcement officers, we were able to infiltrate, cooperating witnesses into this terror cell, to be able to give us more information and to allow us to effectively surveil their conduct over the last 16 months. These people were in possession of numerous jihadist videos. They had possession of the video of the last will and testament of two of the 19 hijackers from September 11. They had video of Osama bin Laden calling Muslims to jihad. They also showed videos to each other of armed attacks and killing of United States military personnel around the world.”

Four of the suspects were born in the former Yugoslavia, another in Jordan and the other in Turkey. The FBI says there is no evidence linking them to al-Qaeda.
