Timeline of events in Fort Dix jihad plot


Note how cannily Tatar tried to play both sides of the street, telling a
Philadelphia Police Sergeant "that he had been approached by an individual
who asked him to provide maps of Fort Dix and that he thought the incident
was terrorist-related." This was just to try to find out if that individual
was an FBI informant (as indeed he was). Did the Sergeant (or his superiors)
think that the Department had found a good moderate Muslim to work with? 

"Timeline of events in Fort Dix attack plot," from Newsday
<http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newjersey/ny-bc-nj--fortdixplot-time
l0508may08,0,3150495.story?coll=ny-region-apnewjersey> :

A timeline of events leading up to the arrest Monday night of six Islamic
militants who allegedly planned to attack Fort Dix: 

_ Jan. 31, 2006: A shopkeeper alerted the FBI about a "disturbing" video he
had been asked to copy onto a DVD. The video showed 10 young men in their
early 20s shooting assault weapons at a firing range earlier that month. The
group called for jihad (a holy war) and shouted in Arabic 'Allah Akbar' (God
is great).

_ March: An FBI informant infiltrated the group by developing a relationship
with Mohamad Shnewer.

_ May 26: Shnewer told the informant to look at particular DVD files on his
laptop. One file contained what appeared to be the last will and testament
of at least two of the hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks;
another contained images of Osama bin Laden and other Islamic extremists
calling on the viewer to join the jihadist movement.

_ July 7: A second informant was approached by six men, one of whom, later
identified as Eljvir Duka, invited the informant to his home.

_ July 29: In a meeting recorded by the second informant, Shnewer showed
several videos on his laptop computer that depicted armed attacks on U.S.
military personnel.

_ Aug. 1, 2 and 5: Shnewer told the first informant that he, Serdar Tatar,
Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka, Shain Duka and others were planning to attack a
U.S. military base, and Shnewer specifically named Fort Dix, explaining that
they could kill at least 100 soldiers by using rocket-propelled grenades.

_ Aug. 5: Shnewer told the first informant they need to conduct surveillance
of military bases to decide which one to attack.

_ Aug. 11: Shnewer and the first informant traveled to Fort Dix to conduct
surveillance. During the trip, Shnewer told the informant the plan was to
"hit four, five, six Humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat
completely without any losses." The two also drove to Lakehurst Naval Air
Station. Law enforcement officers also observed Shnewer drive by himself to
Fort Monmouth later that day.

_ Nov. 12: Tatar told the first informant he would acquire a map of Fort Dix
from his father's restaurant and described an area of the post which they
could attack and cause a power outage, making it easier to mount the attack
on military personnel. At the end of the meeting, Tatar asked if the
informant was a federal agent. (It was unclear how the informant responded.)

_ Nov. 15: In an attempt to find out if the informant was a federal agent,
Tatar told a sergeant with the Philadelphia Police Department that he had
been approached by an individual who asked him to provide maps of Fort Dix
and that he thought the incident was terrorist-related.

_ Nov. 28: Tatar told the first informant that he would provide a map of
Fort Dix even though it could lead to his being deported. He expressed his
continuing suspicions about the informant, saying, "I'm gonna do it. Whether
you are or not (FBI), I'm gonna do it. Know why? ... It doesn't matter to
me, whether I get locked up, arrested, or get taken away, it doesn't matter.
Or I die, doesn't matter, I'm doing it in the name of Allah." Later that
evening, Tatar left a map of Fort Dix in an area near the informant's
residence.

[...]

_ Dec. 8: Shnewer told the first informant that the group had missed an
opportunity to attack military personnel at the Army-Navy football game in
Philadelphia the previous weekend....
