<b>Six arrested in plot against US army base</b>

NEW YORK (AFP) - Six suspected Islamic radicals have been arrested and charged with plotting to kill "as many soldiers as possible" at a US military base in <b>New Jersey, US</b> authorities said on Tuesday.
The suspects, including a pizza delivery man who allegedly used his job to case the army base, were arrested on Monday night as they tried to buy automatic rifles. They were due to appear Tuesday in a New Jersey court after a 16-month sting operation.
Two undercover FBI informers had infiltrated the group and recorded their conversations about launching an attack on Fort Dix army base, federal prosecutors said.
The alleged plot was foiled after a shop clerk alerted police to a "disturbing" video that the suspects had made of themselves and asked to be burned to a DVD.
Prosecutors said the footage showed the accused firing guns in militia-style, calling for holy war and shouting "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is great."
One of the suspects, Mohamad Shnewer, a Philadelphia taxi driver, allegedly told an informer that six or seven "jihadists" planned the operation on Fort Dix to kill "at least one hundred soldiers" by using rocket-propelled grenades or other weapons, the New Jersey US attorney's office said.
"My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers," Shnewer was quoted as saying in the charge sheet. "You hit four, five or six humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat completely without any losses."
The White House and law enforcement officials said the group apparently had no ties to international terrorist networks, but an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation said the case represented a new kind of "homegrown" terrorist threat.
"What we are witnessing is a brand new form of terrorism. Today threats come from smaller, more loosely defined individuals who may or may not be affiliated with Al-Qaeda but are inspired by their violent ideology," FBI special agent J.P. Weis told a news conference in New Jersey.
(Here's a hint for the CIA and FBI and DIA and DOD and the other PC (clueless?) departments: the 'violent ideology' has a name. It's called islam. You know, it's the one everyone declares means 'peace'.)
"This homegrown terror can prove to be as dangerous as any group known if not more so. They operate under the radar," he said.
Weis also praised the shop clerk who informed police about the video as "an unsung hero."
Prosecutors said the suspects sought out detailed maps of Fort Dix and also scouted other military installations as possible targets, including a naval site to be attacked during the annual Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia.
"It was clear they were committed," White House Homeland Security advisor Frances Townsend told CNN.
"They had in their possession the last will and testaments of two of the 9/11 hijackers," she said.
Five of the suspects are charged with conspiracy to murder US soldiers and the sixth defendant is accused of aiding the suspects in acquiring illegal firearms, the US Attorney's office said.
The men are accused of attending training sessions in the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania, trying to acquire AK-47 assault rifles and other weapons, and reviewing "terrorist training videos," according to federal prosecutors.
(Terrorist training camps in US' own backyard. Like the ones US funds TSP and Taliban to create in India.)
<b>Four of the suspects, including three brothers, were from former Yugoslavia,</b> while the fifth was born in Jordan and the sixth in Turkey. Three worked as roofers, another as a taxi driver.
(Ah, islamis from Yugoslavia. The same people the US greatly helped to oppress and murder Serbians and destroy Serbia.
And here I was, starting to think 'what goes around comes around' had stopped being a truism.)
<b>The Council on American-Islamic Relations</b> applauded government authorities for disrupting the alleged plot and repudiated all those claiming religious justification for acts of terror.
The group also asked that US officials and media "refrain from linking this case to the faith of Islam."
(It <i>is</i> very much islam.
CAIR is lying again - but then, 'lying for islam' is thoroughly ok. Everyone knows CAIR is made up of a gang of almost out-and-about jihadists themselves, albeit a more groomed variety. CAIR should stop terrorising Americans, and go terrorise its own kind in Ooosama's street. I hear they're starved for entertainment there. CAIR might wash.)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
