Terrorists Among Us

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

The New York Post has an article today on the conviction of the men who intended to enter Fort Dix in New Jersey to kill American soldiers.  According to the article:

"The government said after the men's arrest in 2007 that an attack was imminent and that the case underscored the dangers of terrorist plots hatched on U.S. soil. Although investigators said the men were inspired by Osama bin Laden, they were not accused of any ties to foreign terror groups."

The fact that they were not accused of any ties to foreign terror groups is both scary and reassuring.  It's scary to know that people who voluntarily came to this country can hate America so much as to want to kill its soldiers.  Wouldn't is be easier just to go home?  It's reassuring to know that these men acted on their own.  They obviously did things that brought them to the attention of the authorities and allowed them to be caught.  Had they had foreign assistance, they might have avoided the clumsiness that resulted in their discovery.

The article in the Post details how they were caught and how the evidence against the men was gathered.  Even though the evidence seemed obvious, the jury took 38 hours to reach a verdict.
