Fort Dix suspect contacted police over concerns

CAMDEN, N.J. — One of the men on trial for allegedly planning to attack soldiers on Fort Dix spoke with police, then an FBI agent, about his concerns that a man had asked him for a map of the Army installation.

It will be up to the jury to try to sort out whether Serdar Tatar was genuinely concerned, as his lawyer contends — or engaged in a game of “spy vs. spy,” trying to smoke out an informant, as the government says.

On Wednesday, the 20th day of the trial, jurors heard from the police officer.

The five accused men, all in their 20s at the time they were arrested in May 2007, are foreign-born Muslims who lived for years in the comfortable Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill. No attack was carried out.

They’re charged with conspiracy to kill military personnel, attempted murder and weapons offenses and, if convicted, could face life in prison.
