Plot to Attack a US Army Base

[SkyTrooper]

FORT DIX, N.J. -- Six foreign-born Muslims were arrested and accused Tuesday of plotting to attack Fort Dix and slaughter scores of U.S. soldiers _ a scheme the FBI says was foiled when the men asked a store clerk to copy a video of them firing assault weapons and screaming about jihad.

The defendants, all men in their 20s from the former Yugoslavia and the Middle East, include a pizza deliveryman suspected of using his job to scout out the military base.

Their goal was "to kill as many American soldiers as possible" with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and guns, prosecutors said.

Note CAIR's response, which condemns the action but not the would-be perpetrators.

I'm guessing this is due to the Islamic rule that it is illegal for a Muslim to criticize another Muslim publicly. (can someone clarify that rule?) It also asks the media and public officials not to link the action to Islam despite the clear religious motivations.
