Remember the Fort Dix Six? The group was a terrorist cell of Muslims who plotted to kill as many soldiers as possible on a New Jersey army base in 2007. The scheme was foiled when a video store employee became suspicious when he processed film clips of the men doing assault weapons training.

There has been little interest from the MSM about immigrant terrorists and consequently little reporting on national news, so it’s easy for Americans to forget that entering the country illegally remains easy and open borders welcome killer Islamists as well as tomato pickers.

Today’s news is that the Muslim immigrants had bigger plans than merely murdering a few hundred American troops [Feds say Fort Dix suspects sought other targets, Google AP, September 20, 2008]:

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — One of the five men awaiting trial on charges alleging they plotted an armed attack on soldiers training at Fort Dix discussed other targets including the White House and Capitol, prosecutors claim in court filings.

The allegations, contained in a motion filed Friday in U.S. District Court, stem from wiretapped conversations between defendant Mohamad Shnewer and Mahmoud Omar, an FBI informant.

According to prosecutors, Shnewer spoke on Aug. 11, 2006, of targeting FBI and CIA headquarters as well as the Army training base. They also said another defendant attempted to buy an AK-47 automatic weapon in 2005.
Incidentally, a plot against the CIA is not without precedent: the CIA was attacked in 1993 by Mir Amal Kasi, a Pakistani who shot five employees at a stoplight as they waited at the agency entrance. Two were killed. He was captured in Pakistan in 1997 and returned to the US, where he was executed in 2002.
