Six Ordinary Lives That Took a Detour to a World of Terror By <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/f/kareem_fahim/i ndex.html?inline=nyt-per> KAREEM FAHIM New York Times May 09, 2007 These are the suspects arrested in connection with a plot to attack Fort Dix. Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer MOHAMAD IBRAHIM SHNEWER, 22, a Jordanian-born American citizen, lives in Cherry Hill, N.J., and drives a cab in Philadelphia. The most outspoken of the six defendants, court papers show, he is quoted as saying, "My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers." Mr. Shnewer smiles broadly in his 2003 yearbook photographs from Cherry Hill High School West. Neighbors say they were irritated by the unkempt yard, towering television antenna and cluttered carport of the family's house. Relatives said Mr. Shnewer has two sisters. He attended college for a time, but dropped out to earn money, they said. Eljvir Duka DRITAN DUKA, 28, also known variously as Distan, Anthony and Tony Duka, is - like his two brothers who also were charged yesterday - an ethnic Albanian born in the former Yugoslavia and living in the United States illegally. According to court papers, he operates roofing businesses from a home in Cherry Hill where he lives with his brothers. As he and his colleagues fine-tuned their plans for an attack on Fort Dix, the court papers show, Mr. Duka said: "We can do a lot of damage with seven people. You can do big things with seven people." ELJVIR DUKA, 23, was sometimes called Sulayman. But at Cherry Hill High School West everyone called him Elvis, and that is how his name appears in several yearbooks. He, too, is in the family roofing businesses, court papers say. One classmate said he remembered that the three Duka brothers were often in trouble, fighters in a school where there were few fights. In the court papers, some of that pugnaciousness emerges as Mr. Duka says that when someone is attacking your religion or way of life, "then you go jihad." SHAIN DUKA, 26, also known as Shaheen, once owned a pizza shop in Turnersville, N.J., about 35 miles from Fort Dix, with his brother Dritan. In June 2005 they sold the place - now known as Tony Soprano's - to Tony Giordano. "They always had the Koran out or somewhere on the counter," Mr. Giordano said. He said that when he bought the pizzeria "the carpet was filthy, the ceiling had holes" and "they had no business." As the group watched a terrorist video, court papers say, Shain Duka laughed as the arm of a United States marine was blown off. Serdar Tatar SERDAR TATAR, 23, a legal resident of the United States who was born in Turkey, lives in Northeast Philadelphia and until several months ago worked at a 7-Eleven on the <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/t/temple_ university/index.html?inline=nyt-org> Temple University campus. It was Mr. Tatar, court records say, who took a map of Fort Dix from his father's pizza parlor on the edge of Fort Dix as the six plotted their attack. For a time he delivered pizzas, often to the military base. At one point when Mr. Tatar thought the group had been infiltrated by the government, the papers say, he notified the police in Philadelphia and told them he had been approached by a man who "pressured him to acquire maps of Fort Dix." He said he was fearful that "the incident was terrorist-related." But the planning went on. AGRON ABDULLAHU, 24, of Buena Vista Township in Atlantic County, N.J., was born in the former Yugoslavia and is living in the United States legally. According to the court papers, Mr. Abdullahu, who is the brother-in-law of Eljvir Duka, held the weapons for the Duka brothers; he took a 9-millimeter handgun and a Yugoslavian semiautomatic rifle to Dritan Duka's house before the group went to the Poconos for a training session, and carried them in a vehicle with a shotgun and a Beretta rifle. In Buena Vista, Mary Williams, a homemaker who lives about a block away, said yesterday, "They seemed to keep to themselves, but many of us who live here live here because we can keep to ourselves." According to court papers, Mr. Abdullahu worked at a supermarket in Williamstown, N.J. At the house in Buena Vista where Mr. Abdullahu lives, there were three cars in the driveway yesterday and a boat alongside the house. . <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=11648958/grpspId=1705447214/msgI d=32283/stime=1178708813/nc1=4438979/nc2=3848614/nc3=3848542> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
