WASHINGTON (CNN) — "Six “Islamic radicals” involved in a plot to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey were arrested Monday night, the U.S. attorney’s office in New Jersey said Tuesday.
One of the suspects was born in Jordan, another in Turkey, the U.S. attorney’s office said. The rest are believed to be from the former Yugoslavia, “either U.S. citizens or living illegally in the United States,” the office said in a statement.
“Their alleged intention was to conduct an armed assault on the army base and to kill as many soldiers as possible,” according to the statement.
The six are expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Camden on Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement.
The district attorney scheduled a news conference at 2:30 p.m. ET to discuss the case.
The men were planning to use automatic weapons to shoot soldiers at the Army post, according to a federal law enforcement source and a senior government source.
The men, some of whom were related to each other, had been doing surveillance and planning “for a while,” and they trained in the Poconos Mountains in northeastern Pennsylvania, according to the federal law enforcement source.
They played paintball and test-fired weapons, a law enforcement source said.""

CAMDEN, N.J., May 8 — "Six people" have been arrested on allegations of plotting to kill soldiers at a New Jersey army installation, a spokesman for the United States attorney’s office said today.
Four of them were born in the former Yugoslavia, one was born in Turkey and one in Jordan, said the spokesman, Greg Reinert.
“Allegedly they wanted to kill as many of the soldiers at Fort Dix as they could,” Mr. Reinert said.
He would not give any further details or say how they would have had access to Fort Dix.
The arrests were made on Monday night in Cherry Hill, N.J., by F.B.I. and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, said a spokesman for the Cherry Hill police, according to the Reuters news agency.
Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the United States attorney’s office in Newark, said some of the suspects were United States citizens and others were illegal immigrants, Reuters reported."
