#1  Authorities have told Newschannel 4 that some of the men were born in Albania and the former Yugoslavia. Investigators said most of the suspects have spent several years here in the U.S.

Albania and Bosnia - the gifts that keep on giving.

#3 I think we should have supported the Serbs and we made a terrible mistake.

There's lots of evidence that the media hid Muslim terrorism and ethnic cleansing.

#4 Well, we can support the Serbs now to try to fix it.

Or, better, would be to stand back and let Pooty-poot have his way.

#6 Authorities were alerted in January 2006 after the terror suspects traveled to the Poconos for a training excercise where they practiced firing automatic weapons, investigators said. ...the suspects tried to have a their training video tape converted to DVD at a store in Cherry Hill, N.J., but the store owner alerted authorities.

Can't make up my mind whether these guys should be tried as terrorists, or just shot for sheer stupidity...

That's about all the positive I have for those idiots.

#13 What is interesting is that these yahoos were plannig this for quite a while. They were sloppy in the way the trained and attempted to acquire weapons. Maybe Al Queda is having a difficult time recruiting quality jihadis? If these were professionals they might have been a lot closer to execution (God forbid). Anyone remember the yahoo who simply stood outside CIA HQ one morning blasting away at employees?

#17 My first impression is that the gentlemen were self-recruited, using information (and a video tape) they'd downloaded from the internet, or got from someone back home, where tapes are the common visual format -- not DVDs. As much Sudden Jihad Syndrome as the chap who drove a rented SUV the crowd sitting outside the student union at that university in South Carolina ... apparently he'd been planning to do that for at least a year, but waiting until he completed his degree first.

#22 FoxNews:
The suspects were scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Camden later Tuesday.

A news conference was scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at the U.S. District Courthouse in Camden.

The men were identified in court papers as Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka, Shain Duka, Serdar Tatar and Agron Abdullahu. Checks with Immigration and Customs Enforcement show that Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka and Shain Duka are illegally living in the United States, according to FBI complaints unsealed with their arrests. Five of them lived in Cherry Hill, about 10 miles east of Philadelphia and 20 miles southwest of Fort Dix, Drewniak said.

The suspects were described as "Islamic radicals" by Greg Reinert, a spokesman for the United States Attorney's Office. A law enforcement source told FOX News that all of the suspects are recent converts and were not born Muslims.

Officials said four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one in Jordan and one in Turkey. All had lived in the United States for years. Three were in the United States illegally, two had work permits, and the other is a U.S. citizen.

The FBI was tipped off in early 2006 after someone brought a video to a store to be copied onto DVD, according to the agency's criminal complaint. The video showed 10 men, including the six arrested, shooting assault weapons in militia style and calling for jihad, the complaint said. [Not downloaded from the internet or sent from back home. Just home movies of the lads at play.]

U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie told him one of the suspects had a job delivering pizzas to the base and used that opportunity to scout out the possible attack. Smith said the men had been under surveillance for 16 months. State Police Capt. Al Della Fave said much of the information obtained in the case came from cell-phone conversations and Internet chats. The Star-Ledger of Newark reported that the men had agreed to buy AK-47 assault rifles from an arms dealer who was secretly cooperating with the FBI.

Republican U.S. Rep. James Saxton, who represents Fort Dix, said, "This serves as a stark reminder that the threat of jihadists around the world and even here at home is very, very real. It is not a threat that exists only in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East."

AP adds:
The men were arrested Monday trying to buy automatic weapons in a sale setup by law enforcement authorities who had been investigating the men, the official said.

#24  And to think they could just have bought a VHS-DVD converter at Wally World & avoided the attention of the video store owner.
BTW, how many other plots are in various stages all over the US at the moment?

Oh, really?

Officials said four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one in Jordan and one in Turkey.

Couple of those infamous Turkish/Jordanian Methodists?

It sure wouldn't hurt to give your theory a try, bk.

That video store guy was brave.

Credit given where credit is due, Sf.

Whatever is done with theses clowns, it should be something that would make a Roman puke.

And no feathers allowed.

The video showed 10 men, including the six arrested, shooting assault weapons in militia style and calling for jihad

Where are the other four? Much more importantly, during the 16 months of surveillance, did the FBI bother to make note of what Muslim-owned stores were patronized by the perps?

They allegedly pooled their savings to pay for the operation that investigators said targeted soldiers stationed here at home.

While internet traffic records may help to determine who financed what, the FBI also needs to investigate all Muslim-owned places of business that these thugs patronized. The halawa network is alive and well in the USA and provides a perfect clandestine source of financing for this exact sort of terrorist operation. America desperately needs to focus on dismantling this underground Islamic money transfer system.

On the day of his execution in the US, the national assembly in Pakistan stood in silence to mark the passing of "a martyr".

#30 New Jersey seems to have a muslim problem. Mohammed Atta and the 911 mass murderers, the anthrax follow on attacks, the plot to blow up the Citibank and Prudential buildings, and now this. I'm beginning the doubt the whole "islam is peace" mantra.

#32 So we have three illegal Muslim immigrants, two legal Muslim immigrants and one Muslim U.S. citizen arrested for involvement in this plot.

Can someone explain to me exactly how it benefits us to allow more of these security risks into America?

Don't we already have enough surly cab drivers who might snap at any moment?

You're absolutely right, OP. If the imam of the mosque these perps attended is here on a visa, revoke his paperwork and slingshot the sucker back to whatever Islamic hellhole utopia he came from.

There needs to be a set of penalties imposed upon the muslim community for incubating terrorism. First and foremost is the clerical class. They are singlehandedly responsible for so much of the carnage and atrocities. Even a whiff of suspicion should be enough to get these sick fucks deported. As to Islam's clerical aristocracy, they should be executed in as swift and a public fashion as humanly possible.

I think he needs to study a LOT more at Rantburg U before "trying" humor/sarcasm again.
