But this story is just weird:
A tip helped authorities arrest six New Jersey men Monday night in connection to an apparent terror cell, according to NBC 10’s sister station WNBC in New York.Just how stupid were these people? Storming a military base???!?!?!?!
Five of them were arrested in Cherry Hill, according to reports.
Investigators said the men planned to use AK-47s to storm Fort Dix and open fire on soldiers and civilians stationed at the New Jersey base, noting that other military locations were scouted by the terrorist cell.
Three of the unnamed suspects are brothers who are all believed to be Islamic radicals, according to sources. Some of the six arrested men were also born in Albania and the former Yugoslavia, but they have spent a significant amount of time in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, according to authorities...
Fort Dix is a reserve training center, but also is home to active units, some of which focus on counter-terrorism.
This just sounds odd, perhaps more light will be shed and it will make more sense, but at the moment, the idea of six people taking automatic rifles into a base with thousands of soldiers, all packing similar weapons and highly-trained in using them, seems very very stupid.
