D.A. Wants Anonymous Jury For Fort Dix 6 Case

Slideshow: Feds Foil Fort Dix Terror Plot

CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS/AP) ― Federal prosecutors have asked that an anonymous jury be impaneled for the trial of six men charged with plotting to attack soldiers on Fort Dix.

In a motion filed Monday, the U.S. Attorney's Office said potential jurors might be concerned about their safety because of the severity of the charges and the international publicity the case has generated.

The request could be discussed at a status conference scheduled for Friday before U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler.

In a separate motion, prosecutors asked the judge to designate the prosecution a "complex case" and waive the rule that the trial begin within 70 days of the men's June 5 indictment.

Charged in the case are Mohamad Shnewer and brothers Dritan, Eljvir and Shain Duka, all of Cherry Hill; Serdar Tatar of Philadelphia, and Agron Abdullahu of Buena Vista.
