Attorneys: Fort Dix Terror Plot Was "Planted And
Nurtured" By FBI Informants

Lawyers in a case relating to a much vaunted 2007 terror plot
have concluded that FBI informants were the key figures behind
the operation and that the accused, six foreign-born Muslims,
were merely bungling patsies.
Defense attorneys have denied there was any plot,
arguing two FBI informants concocted and encouraged the conspiracy
because they were being paid and promised legal immigration status,
reports the New
Jersey Star-Ledger.
"The only terrorist conspiracy was one planted
and nurtured by the informant" argued
attorney, Rocco Cipparone as he highlighted exchanges
between the informant, Mahmoud Omar, and defendant Mohamad Shnewer
in a conversation after the two men drove to the Fort Dix Army
base 25 miles east of Philadelphia last year.
At the time the incident was hyped by the mainstream
corporate media as a major coup for Federal authorities as they
announced that they had foiled
a complex radical Islamist terrorist plot to attack
Fort Dix and kill "as many soldiers as possible" at
the heavily fortified Army base.
Five of the men who were arrested were born in Jordan, Turkey,
and the former Yugoslavia. It soon became apparent, however, that
none of them had any ties to international terrorism.

One of the defendants is accused of giving the informant a map
of the Fort Dix cantonment area, which he took from his father's
pizzeria, which delivered food inside Fort Dix.
The supposed plot involved getting into the military installation
disguised as pizza deliverymen with three AK-47 automatic assault
rifles and four semi-automatic M-16 rifles, going up against hundreds
of trained soldiers and shooting as many soldiers and Humvees
as they could, then retreating without losses to fight again another
day.
Critics were quick to point out that the chances of this being
in any way possible were somewhat slim. Indeed, even some of the
suspects themselves indicated the idea constituted a waste of
time and money.
The FBI says it learned of the supposed plot when the suspects
went to a Circuit City store and asked a clerk to transfer a "jihad
training video" of themselves onto a DVD. The accused also
reportedly asked a police officer where they could obtain more
maps of the army base.
Despite such bungling activity, the men were described by authorities
as "well organized and nearly ready to strike."
In addition, it later emerged that the extent of the suspects'
supposed military-style "training" turned out to be
trips to a firing range in the Poconos and playing paintball in
the woods.
Further
reports, quietly admitted "there is little indication
that they were devout--or even practicing--Muslims."
Indeed, the defense attorneys have also pointed out that the
Poconos trip was a regular vacation for some of the suspects.
"The attorney for Dritan Duka... played a videotape of the
defendants riding horses in the snow outside the rental home,
noted that the group swam in an indoor pool, loaded up on steaks,
brought video games and rented the movies 'Scarface' and 'Eddie
Murphy Raw' from a local Blockbuster." reports The
Star-Ledger.
The defense attorneys have argued that the self-serving FBI informants,
described as small-time criminals, concocted and fueled the conspiracy
plot, aiming to fool the suspects, and that FBI agents accepted
it be cause they were eager to claim a terrorism victory.
By the end of the year, one of the of the informants, Omar, will
have received
nearly $240,000 for his role in the operation - $185,000
in payments plus reimbursement for $25,000 in expenses and nearly
$29,000 in rent.
Sentencing is scheduled for Monday.
