Militants busted Plot to kill U.S. soldiers By CP
Six men described by U.S. federal prosecutors as "Islamic militants" have been arrested on charges they plotted to attack the Fort Dix army base and "kill as many soldiers as possible," authorities said yesterday. The six were scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Camden yesterday to face charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. servicemen, said Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey. Officials said four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one in Jordan and one in Turkey. Five of them lived in Cherry Hill, N.J., 15 kilometres east of Philadelphia and some 30 kilometres southwest of Fort Dix, Drewniak said. "They were planning an attack on Fort Dix in which they would kill as many soldiers as possible," Drewniak said. A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the attack was stopped in the planning stages. http://toronto.24hrs.ca/News/2007/05/09/4164859-sun.html
