Terrorists Busted In Quiet Cherry Hill
by Deborah Garcia
CHERRY HILL, N.J. (CBS) ―
Several of the six terror plot suspects live in Cherry Hill, which is about 20 miles southwest of Fort Dix.
Three of the six men arrested were related. The Duka brothers lived in a home on Mimosa Drive. According to the indictment, all six men practiced shooting guns in the back of the house.
According to immigration and customs enforcement Shain Duka, Dritan Duka, and Eljvir Duka were from the former Yugoslavia and were living in the United States illegally.
They, along with three other suspected terrorists, were arrested Monday at the Hampshire House apartments in Cherry Hill.
According to authorities, they were attempting to purchase semiautomatic weapons to use in an attack at the Fort Dix Army base.
Residents were shocked to hear that the alleged terrorists were arrested in their building.
"I can't believe it. It's so quite here," one resident said.
