Six foreign born Muslims have been charged with plotting to kill American soldiers at Fort Dix, N.J.
Three of those charged are ethnic Albanians. This is ironic, because Fort Dix was home to hundreds of Albanian refugees during the war in Kosovo.
President Bush has suggested that the war in Iraq means the battlefield with terrorists is there, not on U.S. soil. But this alleged plot would have brought the war with Islamic fanatics here, once again.
The investigation was touched off when a store clerk asked to dub what is described as a "disturbing" video that promoted terrorism notified authorities. This is another reminder that we all must be vigilant and report suspicious activities.
As they say on the New York City subway system, "if you see something, say something."
