Fort Dix Five Found Guilty Email This Story Print This Story

Five Muslim immigrants were convicted Monday of plotting to massacre U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix in a case that tested the FBI's post-Sept. 11 strategy of infiltrating and breaking up terrorist conspiracies in their earliest stages. The men could get life in prison when they are sentenced in April. The five, who lived in and around Philadelphia for years, were found guilty of conspiring to kill U.S. military personnel. But they were acquitted of attempted murder, after prosecutors acknowledged the men were probably months away from an attack and did not necessarily have a specific plan. Four defendants were also convicted of weapons charges.

At the very least these vermin will be caged for a while. What drives these maniacs may never be known but the fact remains that they were stopped before they could commit the atrocities that they were contemplating. Unfortunately there is not a hole deep enough to bury this type of garbage in. While they will get long prison sentences (hopefully), unfortunately they will be released one day. If they are not American citizens, then immediately upon their release they should be turned over to ICE and deported to their own countries. How would you have voted on the verdict?
