Fort Dix attack plot suspects promoting terror in jail

Federal authorities say one of the men accused of planning an attack on soldiers at the Fort Dix army base gave another inmate in a federal detention center an Al Qaeda recruitment video and another wrote a note referring to the fight “we weren’t able to finish.” The five men — all foreign-born Muslims in their 20s — were arrested in May and charged with conspiring to kill uniformed military personnel. Authorities said they planned to sneak onto Fort Dix, a base in New Jersey used primarily to train reservists for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. A sixth man later pleaded guilty to providing weapons to some of the five charged in the alleged conspiracy. There was no attack, however. The five suspects include three ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, a Jordanian, and a Turk. A hearing on the men’s bail motion is scheduled for December 20.
