With the MSM busy suppressing most everything concerning the attempted terror attacks in Fort Dix last year, it's hard to find updates but this one reveals more serious plotting by the suspected terrorists. This is an excerpt from the story from NJ.com:
So, while the MSM and Dems in America scoffed at the arrests of these jihadists, the proof is coming out now about just how serious they were and to what extent they were planning to carry out their plot.
Oh and of course, the defense attorney for one of these chumps is claiming that his client and the others weren't serious. Well, last time I checked, if you make threats like this, even jokingly, you are in serious shit. And these guys were serious - they might have been inept to a good extent but the fact is they were cooking up a plot and luckily they were caught. And if Americans of the Left keep downplaying this stuff, they will wake up to bigger and bigger nightmares.
The South Jersey men accused of plotting an attack on Fort Dix talked about getting high-powered rifles and firing on the White House or U.S. soldiers, prosecutors say in new court filings.
One of the defendants, Eljvir Duka, said he wanted to train to be a sniper. "Do you think I could hit George Bush ... " he allegedly asked his brother, Dritan Duka.
At another point, Dritan Duka laughed and said he would join the U.S. military so he could "kill from inside."

Prosecutors: Dix plotters spoke of arms, attacks
The remarks were recorded in February 2007 by an FBI confidential informant who had accompanied the suspects to a firing range in the Pocono Mountains.
Prosecutors disclosed the transcripts for the first time this week, as they asked a federal judge to impose a harsh punishment against the only defendant to plead guilty so far. Agron Abdullahu, a 25-year-old supermarket baker from Buena Vista Township, is scheduled to be sentenced Monday on weapons charges.
Authorities have described the other defendants, four from Cherry Hill and one from Philadelphia, as "home-grown terrorists" and "radical Islamists" who wanted to storm Fort Dix with automatic weapons and kill as many soldiers as possible. Arrested last May, they face a September trial on charges that include conspiring to kill U.S. military members, a crime punishable by life in prison.
Abdullahu wasn't part of that plot, but last fall he pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide illegal immigrants with firearms. Abdullahu, a legal immigrant from Kosovo, brought four guns on a weekend trip to the Pocono Mountains for his friends to shoot.
Federal sentencing guidelines recommend between 10 and 16 months for the crime. Like the others, Abdullahu has been jailed since his arrest, so he could possibly walk free next week.
In their filing, Deputy U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Hammer asked U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler to depart from the guidelines and impose a term that would keep him in prison. They say Abdullahu heard his friends rant against America and knew they were devoted to participating in a jihad.
"As the only participant in the 2007 Poconos trip with a firearm license, defendant Abdullahu was single-handedly responsible for putting fireams in the hands of men whom he knew to be extremely dangerous," they wrote.
