CAMDEN, N.J. — Jurors in the trial of five men accused of plotting an attack on a New Jersey Army base listened Thursday to recordings of one defendant discussing driving a fuel truck into a building and firing on people in a picnic area.
For the third straight day, the trial was dominated by recordings made by federal informant Mahmoud Omar, a native of Egypt with a sketchy past who is being paid $1,500 weekly for his cooperation.
Many of the conversations involve suspect Mohamad Shnewer, now 23, a cab driver and college dropout who drove with Omar to Fort Dix and Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base in August 2006.
All five defendants are foreign-born Muslims in their 20s who spent years in southern New Jersey. They are charged with conspiracy to murder military personnel, attempted murder and weapons offenses. They face life in prison if they are convicted.
Religion of pieces, a cult.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
The five men were arrested in May 2007 after one of the government’s informants secretly videotaped them paying $1,400 for seven machine guns in the informant’s apartment, in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Gotta say, offering seven machine guns for $1,400 sounds like serious entrapment. Who here could resist an offer like that?
I wonder just what kind of "machine guns" they were? Doesn't Washington DC consider a 1911 a machine gun?
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

CAMDEN, N.J. — Five Muslim immigrants were found guilty 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 men, who lived in and around Philadelphia for years, were charged with conspiring to kill military personnel and attempted murder. All were convicted of conspiracy and acquitted of attempted murder. Four men also faced weapons charges and were convicted on the majority of them.
The men face up to life in prison when they are sentenced in April.
