Four of the suspects were born in Yugoslavia, one in Jordan and one in Turkey, said Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Newark, New Jersey.The arrests were made on Monday night in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, by FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, said a spokesman for the Cherry Hill police."They were plotting to make an assault on Fort Dix with the intention of killing as many U.S. soldiers as possible," Drewniak said.The statement called the suspects "Islamic radicals."Drewniak said some of the suspects were U.S. citizens and others were illegal immigrants. They are scheduled to be charged with terrorism offenses in U.S. District Court in Camden, New Jersey, later on Tuesday, Drewniak said.A news conference was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon in Camden.</div>I've been there quite a few times, definately glad that they didn't actually get to go through with their plot. Shoot them in the head, cause this planet would be better off without them. :bigfinger:

    If it was a planned attack on a different country, you wouldn't care. I think the USA has jumped too many world affairs and is now paying the price. Sure, it's nice to get rid of some crazy bastards once in a while, but it won't change that a lot of people hate us.

That's the whole point of why this is so serious. It's because it happened to OUR country. On OUR own soil. Not to anybody else's.Wait... since when has United States cared about who hates them or not? I have a feeling we're doing this not to get allies but for the greater good. United States has been sticking their necks out for other countries ever since we were established by the British. I don't see any reason why they will stop that now.

I do agree though that this is partially our own fault because we do get involved in Worldwide affairs that we have no buisness being in. Unless a country poses a direct threat to us, I really don't think we should be involved so much in Global Affairs. But unfortunately thats not my decision to make, and I hate it when these attacks, or potential attacks, strike so close to home as I know people stationed at Fort Dix.

    I understand that this is a direct threat to our country, but I'm stressing the points where America interferes with other countries inside or even outside affairs doesn't help us. Fuck, a lot of countries nowadays train kids to hate us. Why? Because we can't take care of ourselves before we risk more of our own lives to save some douchebags in other countries. Basic American policy: Take lives of other people doing wrong to other countries, surrender our own lives to help other countries. Leave ourselves targeted as resort of helping other country = we get attacked later.
