6 Arrested in Plot to Storm Fort Dix

Six members of an alleged homegrown terror cell that intended to launch a commando-style attack on New Jersey’s Fort Dix were arrested by the FBI Monday night after a 15-month investigation. Four of the six were born in Yugoslavia, one was born in Jordan and the other in Turkey. All were U.S. residents. Their alleged intention was to conduct an armed assault on the army base and to kill as many soldiers as possible.

Fort Dix was chosen because one member’s family owned a pizza parlor near the base and that member was able to enter the base to deliver pizza.

The investigation began when a man walked into a photo shop and asked to convert a tape to a DVD, and the clerk alerted law enforcement after he saw what was on the tape.
