Just a bit of an update regarding the six men accused of trying to attack Fort Dix. A grand jury has concluded that there is enough evidence that the men tried to kill uniformed members of the military. Attempted murder will now be added to their list of charges.

In a federal indictment handed up Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Camden, the grand jury does not spell out why the attempted murder charges were added. Greg Reinert, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, declined to elaborate on it…

In addition to the conspiracy charges all five face, the Duka brothers were also charged with possession of weapons by illegal aliens. Under Tuesday’s amended indictment, they and Shnewer were additionally charged with possession of a firearm for an illegal act. Tatar doesn’t face weapons charges.

The indictment also says that Shnewer conducted surveillance at McGuire Air Force Base besides several other military installations the government had already said he scouted, including Fort Dix and Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

The trial begins on March 24th.
