CAMDEN, N.J. -- A jury will hear opening arguments Monday in the trial of five men accused of plotting to kill soldiers on Fort Dix, a case the government has presented as one of the most frightening examples of homegrown terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001,attacks.
The five -- all foreign-born Muslim men in their 20s who have spent much of their lives in the southern New Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia -- were arrested in May 2007 and accused of plotting to sneak onto Fort Dix to attack soldiers.
No attack was carried out, and attorneys for the men say there was no plot.
