CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — Five men accused of planning an attack on an Army training base in New Jersey were inspired by al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden, a prosecutor said Monday during opening statements in their terrorism trial. The government has presented the case as one of the most frightening examples of homegrown terrorism since the Sept. 11 attacks. Authorities said that in 2006 and 2007, the men turned paintball games into terrorist training sessions and met to discuss a plot to sneak into Fort Dix, used primarily to train reservists for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. No attack was carried out. “Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden,” Deputy U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick told the jurors.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
