From Fox News
The defendants were acquitted of attempted murder charges but face life in prison for conspiring to kill military personnel.
The federal jury spent about 38 hours deliberating over the past six days.
After the men’s arrest in 2007, prosecutors said an attack had been imminent, underscoring the dangers of terrorist plots hatched on U.S. soil.
Defense lawyers maintain the alleged plot was all talk. They said the men weren’t seriously planning anything and that they were goaded by two paid FBI informants.
This is the start of the end of this 14 month investigation. The FBI had a paid informant and have the Fort Dix Five on tape talking about weapons, Al Qaeda, killing US soldiers and suicide bombings. They were arrested before anything could be carried out.
