NEW JERSEY: Court orders Islamists held in Fort Dix plot

The Washington Times

Six men identified as "radical Islamists" and charged in a scheme to attack the Fort Dix Army base in New Jersey were ordered held without bail yesterday during a federal court hearing in Camden, N.J.

Federal prosecutors argued that the men, who wanted to "kill as many American soldiers as possible," posed flight risks. They are being held at a federal detention center in Philadelphia.

Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, 22, Serdar Tatar, 23, Dritan Duka, 28, Shain Duka, 26, and Eljvir Duka, 23, are charged with conspiring to kill uniformed military personnel, an offense punishable by life in prison. Agron Abdullahu, 24, is charged with helping illegal immigrants obtain weapons and faces 10 years in prison if convicted.
