Fort Dix and FBI entrapment – a suspect victory in the War on Terror
In 2007, three brothers, Dritan, Shain and Eljvir Duka, were arrested in their hometown of Cherry Hill, New Jersey for conspiring to kill US military personnel at nearby Fort Dix.

Quickly deemed guilty in the court of public opinion, their verdict was made official in 2008 when they were each sentenced to life in prison.
