The Pizza Connection; Easy Access to Fort Dix
May 08, 2007 1:01 PM http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/05/the_pizza_conne.html Brian Ross and Richard Esposito Report: The six men charged with planning an attack to kill several hundred U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix, N.J., thought they would have easy access to the base by pretending to deliver pizzas. In a criminal complaint filed this morning, an FBI agent writes that "SERDAR TATAR's father owned a restaurant near Fort Dix and made deliveries onto the base." The father, owner of Super Mario's Restaurant, told ABCNews.com today that his staff often made pizza deliveries on to the base and to the nearby McGuire Air Force Base. The complaint says Tatar was able to acquire a map of Fort Dix, labeled "Cantonment Area Fort Dix, N.J." and gave it to the five other men arrested by the FBI. Officials say the map was used by pizza delivery men to find their way around the base. According to the complaint, Tatar "described a place at Fort Dix they could target that would cause a power outage and allow for an easier attack on the military personnel there." Tatar's father told ABCNews.com he talked to his son only yesterday, and there was no indication of anything unusual, no indication that his 24-year-old son harbored a deep hatred of the United States. "There's something wrong here," the father said. "I came here from Turkey in 1992, and this is my country. I love this country." He said his son had not worked at the restaurant for at least a year, and he believed his son was working at a 7-11 convenience store in Philadelphia. The criminal complaint tells a much different story, describing Tatar as suspicious of the FBI's undercover operative who infiltrated the group. Last November, Tatar allegedly contacted a sergeant in the Philadelphia police department to check the name of the undercover informant. The complaint quotes Tatar as telling the undercover operative, "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."
