Fort Dix Six Sentencing Underway: UPDATE: Duka Brothers All Get Life

Dritan Duka, one of the Fort Dix Six, was sentenced to life in prison, plus 30 years. He, along with two of his brothers and two other men were convicted on terror-related charges stemming from a plot to attack troops at Fort Dix or other military installations in New Jersey.
A man convicted of plotting to kill military personnel in the Fort Dix trial has been sentenced to life plus 30 years in prison.

Thirty-year-old Dritan Duka (DRY'-tahn DOO'-ka) was the first of five men to be sentenced over two days.

Dritan told the judge he was innocent.

His brothers Eljvir (EL'-veer) and Shain were also to be sentenced Tuesday.

The brothers and two other men were convicted in December of conspiring to kill military personnel in a plot that authorities portrayed as one of the most frightening homegrown terrorism plans ever in the United States.

All five men are immigrants. The Duka brothers ran a roofing company in Cherry Hill before they were arrested two years ago.
The remaining convicted terrorists are to be scheduled today and tomorrow.

UPDATE:
The remaining two Duka brothers also got life sentences. Shain Duka got life plus 30 years and Eljvir got life. They'll have lots of time to spend contemplating what they did.
