As is the case in reading most of the coverage, you’d need to be listening to talk radio or surfing the net to know that we’re not dealing with Swedish Lutherans Gone Wild here. All six are Muslim, three from Albania, one from Turkey and the other from Jordan. Three are illegal aliens.
Michelle Malkin has, as usual, excellent coverage. Here is the FBI affidavit, and for anyone still confused about who these men are, here is some background on the suspects:
The suspects, identified as Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka, Shain Duka, Mohamad Shnewer, Derdar Tatar and Agron Abdullahu, have been charged with conspiring to kill U.S. government employees. Separately, the Duka brothers have been charged with being illegal aliens in possession of firearms.
The Dukas, believed to be Islamic radicals, are in the United States illegally, while Shnewer is a U.S. citizen born in Jordan, according to the Justice Department.
The U.S. Attorney’s office has told NewsChannel 4 that one of the suspects was born in Turkey and four in the former Yugoslavia. Investigators said most of the suspects have spent several years in the United States.
Dritan Duka=Illegal Alien
Eljvir Duka=Illegal Alien
Shain Duka=Illegal Alien
Mohamad Shnewer=Naturalized American from Jordanian (the pizza shop owner)
Derdar Tatar=Turkey “in the U.S. illegally,” which probably means overstaying his visa.
Agron Abdullahu=Former Yugoslavia, also here “illegally.”
Their first hearing was at 1pm ET and a press conference with the NJ DA and other law enforcement is scheduled for 2:30pm ET.
Captain’s Quarters notes that the targeting of Ft.Dix is “strange.” It does seem so, but ultimately makes sense as a pizza shop owner, Shnewer had easy and regular access to the base.
“We fight them over there, so we won’t have to fight them here…”, how does your mantra go again, Jorge? Thanks for the great job defending our borders, why not throw a little more gasoline on the fire? Nice guest workers you invited into our home. Not. Can we have the U.N. come defend our Nation, since the President won’t? We give the U.N. enough money, it’s about time we got something in return, maybe they could build the wall. Or deport a few million. I think the U.N. would be immune from ACLU and SPLC lawsuits.
To be filed under: another reason why I don’t sleep well at night.
Isn’t there a rule that if you can connect 2 dots you have a line? Open borders. . .Illegal aliens. . .Plot to shoot soldiers at Fort Dix. Hmmmm, that makes 3 dots. . .I’m definitely seeing a line. Or am I just geometrically challenged? Tenth grade geometry was an awfully long time ago, and I always did miss something on the proofs.
Is the fact that there are plots like this a surprise to anybody? For those that are bad mouthing Bush……..um………we caught them before they did it.
Geez.
Agron Abdullahu was on our side in Klintoons war against Christians in KosovO. He was a sniper. Funny how he was the only legal resident, but I’m not laughing. Is anyone still in favor of independence for KosovO still?
Illegal Aliens made up 90% of the Muslims involved in the 911 attacks! One of my first clues that Bush was giving us another “Read my lips…..!” in the war on terror was when he did not start building a fence in 02 to keep illegal aliens out of America. of course several other actions ( or lack of actions ) on his part the last 4 years have convinced me he does not want to win the war on terror and never did.
America will never be safe as long as we do nothing (as we have been doing the last 6 years) to keep illegal aliens out; and do not kick them out when we find them.
