Fort Dix Plotters Going to Prison, 3 For Life

Everyone wave by bye to Shain, Eljvir and Dritan Duka, for life...

Via NBC Philadelphia:Three brothers in the Ft. Dix terror trial all met the same fate Tuesday-- a life sentence in federal prison, where there is no parole.

Shain, Eljvir and Dritan Duka were all convicted of plotting an armed attack to kill American soldiers. They'd talked about Ft. Dix as a target.

“The hatred and contempt these young men hold for America and the rule of law was made abundantly clear during the investigation, at trial and even today as they spoke at their sentencings,” said Acting United States Attorney Ralph J. Marra, Jr. “Not one word of contrition was heard from any of them, only more hatred and contempt. For their actions and their words, the sentences are appropriate to both protect the public from them and their deeply held, radical beliefs and to deter others who would act similarly,” said Marra.

Tow other defendants are to be sentenced Friday, but NPR reported this AM that another of the five in the group was given 33 years.
