Jury Convicts Fort Dix Plotters
In 2007, six Muslim immigrants were accused of planning to attack Fort Dix in New Jersey. Today, a jury found five of them guilty for conspiring to kill U.S. soldiers. They were acquitted of attempted murder but still face life in prison for conspiring to kill military personnel. Prosecutors said the men bought assault rifles that were tracked by the FBI and practiced shooting in the Poconos mountains. The sixth man was only with charged with gun offenses and plead guilty earlier.
I'm aware of the case, but not many details. Some reports say the purpose of the plot was to "kill soldiers", but Foxnews said earlier that it was a plot to "blow up Fort Dix".
WTH?
Life in prison for some guys talking about something they might do? That's out of proportion with the infraction.
Thank you.
