Guilty Verdicts In Fort Dix Attack Plot Trial

The Associated Press reports that "five Muslim immigrants were convicted Monday of plotting to massacre U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix in a case the government said demonstrated its post-Sept. 11 determination to stop terrorist attacks in the planning stages." The jihadists "face life in prison for conspiring to kill military personnel." The AP says tha "the men lived in and around Philadelphia for years. The government said after their 2007 arrest that an attack had been imminent and that the case underscored the dangers of terrorist plots hatched on U.S. soil."
