FT. DIX, NEW JERSEY - It's a mixed verdict in the case of five Muslim men accused of plotting a Fort Dix terror attack. Several of the men were accused of training at Big Bass Lake in Gouldsboro in preparation for the planned attack.

A federal jury found the “Fort Dix 5” guilty of plotting to kill soldiers at the New Jersey base. However, the jury acquitted them of attempted murder.

All five face life in prison. Investigators say the defendants planned to use automatic weapons and grenade launchers in the attack.
