The Star-Ledger

The father of three men charged in the foiled Fort Dix terror plot was arrested this week on immigration violations and is in federal custody, two law enforcement sources said today.

Ferik Duka, the father of Eljvir, Dritan and Shain Duka, is being held pending a hearing, the said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Duka's wife, Zurata, was also issued a summons but was not taken into custody because the couple has a 16-year old son.

Federal investigators have found no evidence linking the parents to the alleged plot to kill soldiers at Fort Dix. But, the source said of the parents, "You can't ignore the fact that they are here illegally."
