| Circuit City employee was hero in busting terror plot |
| 2007-05-09 |
| A male employee who works at Circuit City behind the Moorestown Mall is the unsung hero that first enabled authorities to foil the Fort Dix terror plot. Circuit City corporate spokesman Jim Babb confirmed this morning that a current employee was asked by one of the alleged terrorists to dub a Jihadist training VHS cassette into a DVD. The clerk alerted Mount Laurel police about the video in January 2006, who then contacted the FBI, which launched the investigation. "Out of respect for our store associates and also to avoid interfering with the investigation, we're not doing interviews," Babb said. "This is in the midst of the early stages of an investigation and we don't want to do anything to interfere with that. Babb declined to give the clerk's name. At the office for Rep. Jim Saxton, R-Mount Holly, spokesman Jeff Sagnip Hollendonner said the congressman had not spoken to the clerk but that the office was considering sending a thank you note. "He is obviously someone who is alert and acted in a very responsible way and he very likely saved lives, there's no question about that," Sagnip Hollendonner said. "So he's a hero because of that." |

| #7 Jan's on the money. CC is a burn-job operation. Firing all of their senior employees as a cost saving measure guaranteed the buying public a less qualified level of assistance in all of their stores. Please consider shopping somewhere else that makes real careers for its workers. |

| #6 remember it's not the business, it was the employee. Also don't forget how Circuit City laid off most of their employees for no other reason but to make bigger profits and are only offering to rehire them back at almost half their previous wages, with part time positions so no benefits. link Babb declined to give the clerk's name. I wonder if he's in the unemployment line |
