Fort Dix Six Trial Underway

The trial of five men who are alleged to have plotted a terrorist attack against the military base at Fort Dix in New Jersey is finally underway.

Authorities say that in 2006 and 2007, the men turned paintball games into terrorist training sessions and met at places like Dunkin' Donuts to discuss killing soldiers on the Army's Fort Dix base.

The men, all foreign-born Muslims in their 20s, are charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and weapons offenses.

Their lawyers are expected to question the role of two paid government informants who made hundreds of hours of secret recordings.

The jury consists of eight women and four men. The trial is expected to last into December.

A sixth man, Agron Abdullahu, has already entered a guilty plea on weapons charges and received a 20-month sentence. He entered a guilty plea on charges of providing weapons to the illegal aliens (the Duka brothers).
