Fort Dix terror plot suspects held without bail
Six men arrested this week and charged with plotting to massacre soldiers at a US fort have been held without bail today.
Prosecutors argued that the men, all born outside the United States, pose a flight risk.
The men – four of them ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, one from Jordan and one from Turkey – have been held at a federal detention centre in Philadelphia since their arrest on Monday night over the plot to attack Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Five of the men are charged with conspiring to kill uniformed military personnel, an offense punishable by life in prison.
They are Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, 22; Serdar Tatar, 23; Dritan “Anthony” or “Tony” Duka, 28; Shain Duka, 26; and Eljvir “Elvis” Duka, 23,
Agron Abdullahu, 24, is charged with helping illegal immigrants obtain weapons, and could face 10 years in prison if convicted.
