NEW YORK (AFP) - Six suspected Islamic radicals have been arrested and charged with plotting to kill "as many soldiers as possible" at a US military base in New Jersey, US authorities said on Tuesday.

The suspects, including a pizza delivery man who allegedly used his job to case the army base, were arrested on Monday night as they tried to buy automatic rifles. They were due to appear Tuesday in a New Jersey court after a 16-month sting operation.

Two undercover FBI informers had infiltrated the group and recorded their conversations about launching an attack on Fort Dix army base, federal prosecutors said.

The alleged plot was foiled after a shop clerk alerted police to a "disturbing" video that the suspects had made of themselves and asked to be burned to a DVD.

Prosecutors said the footage showed the accused firing guns in militia-style, calling for holy war and shouting "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is great."

One of the suspects, Mohamad Shnewer, a Philadelphia taxi driver, allegedly told an informer that six or seven "jihadists" planned the operation on Fort Dix to kill "at least one hundred soldiers" by using rocket-propelled grenades or other weapons, the New Jersey US attorney's office said.

"My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers," Shnewer was quoted as saying in the charge sheet. "You hit four, five or six humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat completely without any losses."

Its a perfect example for anyone who believes we need stronger border control and crack down on illegal immigrants.

In this case, being tougher would have taken at least three would be terrorists out of this story.

Its a perfect example for anyone who believes ...indeed.

the LouDobbs, O-rellys, and LePens of this World.. are going to are going to Milk this cow like if there is no tomorrow..

O'Reilly is going to have a joygasm on the air.

O'Reilly is going to have a joygasm on the air.Its like his birthday and MardiGras rolled into one :D :D :cool: :D

kinda scary, this is right by me...i mean the one guy even worked in Philadelphia

I guess they wouldn't have the opportunity if these six weren't going to kill people....

a plot the FBI says was foiled when the men took a video of themselves firing assault weapons to a store to have the footage put onto a DVD.
Can we execute them so they can get Darwin awards?

Investigators said they infiltrated the group with an informant well over a year ago and bided their time while they secretly recorded the defendants, five of whom lived in Cherry Hill, a Philadelphia suburb about 20 miles from Fort Dix.

"This is what law enforcement is supposed to do in the post-9/11 era — stay one step ahead of those who are attempting to cause harm to innocent American citizens," U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said.

Weiss saluted the unidentified New Jersey store clerk who noticed the suspicious video as the "unsung hero" of the case. "That's why we're here today — because of the courage and heroism of that individual," the FBI agent said.
And it looks like the FBI were equally stupid. The video store owner reporting them firing guns is the "hero." They had been recording them for years but hadn't done anything?

Its a perfect example for anyone who believes we need stronger border control and crack down on illegal immigrants.

In this case, being tougher would have taken at least three would be terrorists out of this story.


3 is better than 0.

Ugh...I loathe O'Reilly and The Loo, loudmouths with bully tendencies.

I wonder how they planned to get onto the base or were they just going to shoot their way in?

Their alleged intention was to conduct an armed assault on the army base and to kill as many soldiers as possible.

In other words, they will never get past the gate. Stupid.

I just heard they were testing their weapons here in my neck of the woods in PA.

I'd hate to be out shooting and meet them shooting too.

One of them was a pizza delivery guy. Probably how they planned to get in. The soldiers don't walk around the base at home ready for action, they probably figure the can 'rack a few up' before they're martyred.

While it will give some gasbags something to masturbate over in regards to Islam and immigration etc. I'd rather deal with that then have these guys actually succeeded. (In all respects, really. I'd rather these jackasses didn't get to kill anything and if they had succeeded the wind from the bags would be even worse. Perfectly, they wouldn't exist...but oh well...)

Ahhhhhhhh.......... you could take 'em.

They pee sitting down .

Oh of course, because you learned some one's intention after the fact, they suddenly become a dangerous person on a shooting range. They were never dangerous before you learned of intentions to do something that wouldn't put you in danger.

More reasons suspected terrorists, and everyone else, should be allowed to buy any guns :rolleyes:

I didnt say shooting range at any point. They were shooting assault weapons. And we are all fairly familiar with how they shoot-the recordings reveal they were yelling Allah Akbar and all that stupid shit.

No-I wouldnt want to encounter them in the woods,Sam I Am, even if I had a gun too.

political issues aside-I like seeing these stupid plans being squashed in their early stages.

me being a good shot helps too.

The GPs do.

Can we execute them.... ?CNN said that whoever tries to kill US soldiers gets a death sentence.

they did not have their weapons yet.. and since the seller was an FBI man.. they were never going to get any AKs

looks very amateur..

One would have to be utterly desperate to see this as any sort of ideological vindication, imo.

They had semi-auto AKs already, and had wanted to get full auto AKs.

Apparently, they were rotten shots, as most novices are.

Another Terrorist Plot Foiled! Clearly George Bush's Aggressive Tactics Are Proving Effective. Support The Troops You Socialist Bastards.
