Dear abc news and people of the world, terror is a big thing in this world after 911 happend. I am from kosova, but a citizen in new york. i have a good job a wonderful wife and good parents. everyone should not judge anyone because of a stupid act like that, because u must remeber that everyone, or anyone can be a terrorist no matter what race they are. Look at the verginia school shooting 31 people killed by an orental kid that is an act of terrorizum, gangs , drugs murder rape by our own citizens in america is terrorizum, its has no face when it comes to the meaning of terrorizum. I think everyone has a bit of terrorizum in there selves, kosova is a peaceful land in europe thats all it should be thought of. thank you abc news

Months??? No we were warned in 1996 that 9/11 was gonna happen in fact it was reported by CNN. Now that information is "classified." Looks likes everyone even Bill Clinton dropped the ball on this one.

Not that this should be relevant but these guys were not from Kosova. They are originally from Macedonia. One of them did claim he's from Kosova in order to sneak in the country, but he's not from Kosova either. As a matter of fact, I heard tat three of them use to live in NY before 99'. Their father moved them to NJ because he wanted to keep them out of trouble. I guess that did't work.

Wake up and let's cut out the political correctness. We are at war with Islam. In the past we had wars with nation-states this war is diferent and more like those of ancient times. Remember Al Queda, the Palestinians and other Muslims refer to us as "Crusaders". Not all Muslims are terrorists, some who live here are glad to have escaped the insanity of their homelands but almost every act of violence directed at us is from Muslims with a religious agenda.

Just why in the hell did the co-workers at the Shop Rite Bakery not go to law enforcement about this muslim downloading explosive recipes? Seems a lot of americans are still just plain dumb as well. the shop rite employees that knew of this should be hauled in for some "education" in the local cooler for a few days.

Hey, Maybe Uncle Benny will write to him in prison and then we'll catch him!....Yeah..Right.

Amazing that terrorist walk across our border and liberals complain about putting up a fence to protect the USA!
If you read further about these terrorist Clintons plans to bring in refuges from the middle east and patriate them at Fort dix in the 90's included two of these terrorists from Albiania!
It's amazing we are at war with terrorists across the world, and the liberals in the media and the house and senate want to open our borders, except the KORAN, want to treat terrorism as joke, they want the USA to lose in Iraq, the want to cut off funds to the military, and are adding Global warming to our National Security bills? What wrong with this picture?

This fool should not be sent to prison for life. He should be sent to prison, military, for a long period. Then he should be sent back to his country of origin. If it no longer exists, too bad.

I am surprised at many of the comments I read here. I don't intend to insult anyone, but some comments are extremely ignorant. No one is from Albania. Kosova, Macedonia, nor any other part of the former Yugoslavia is a part of Albania. Islam is not the cause. It is all political. People always need someone to hate. Japan, Germany, Russia, now Islam in general. Who is next? Perhaps the Jews? Maybe Buddhists? Hey what about North Korea? They're not like us. No one is trying to force religion on anyone. And this particular group of brothers have been in this country at least 20 years. Clinton was not President then. Am I the only college educated person here? Common sense should be elementary. What I mean is, read and learn before you make unsupported statements. Kim, I agree these guys need to grow up in the harshest way, but whatever country you're referring to, it still exists. They are from Debra, Macedonia. The Duka family is a large-size known family. They live all over NY; where these guys grew up. That's right, they lived in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn since the youngest was about less than a year old. The oldest is married to an American, and has children with her. What they are is extremely immature.

The Gang Who Couldn't Think Straight

I am sure there are a few ex-military folks who will be awaiting their arrival into the Federal prison system - Life just got rough, fellas

9/11 undoubtedly confirmed the extent to which others will go to harm the interests of the United States; about this there is no doubt. George Bush, Rove, Wolfowitz, Cheney and Rumsfield fed into legitimate concerns about terrorism and mired out country in a sinkhole of duplicity that is getting deeper and deeper.

The people who were picked up for planning an attack on a military installation should undoubtedly be "questioned aggressively" to assure full understanding of their possible motives. At the same time they should be not be treated like "enemy combatants" and subjected to the torture tactics employed in Guatanamo.

Unfortunately, the Bush administration just can't be trusted to be objective and fair in communicating their concerns about terrorism. It's no wonder that the president has only a 30% (or lower) approval rating. It's sad.

I think all terror ploting terrorist that are cought ploting or in the makeing of should be sent to prison for life. If not when the get out they will just be more against the u.s. when they get out they might do it again but this time it will be too late. What about our children what type of path are we setting for them?????????

Sounds like Bush and Cheney are starting their fear mongering again. I seriously doubt these guys were going to do anything or were anything more than fantasists, but with the UNPatriot Act, their telephones were tapped, computers bugged, etc. The fear of terror is a great way to divert from the real issues like univeral healthcare, withdrawing from Iraq and amnesty for undocumented workers.

He called OBL his Uncle Ben? And this deserves space on ABC news? People, wake up. Open a window. Go outside. You're so in love with your fear it makes me shiver.

Ooh, there are terrorists. Ooh, they hate our FREEDOMS. What, are you all twelve years old? Grow some critical thinking skills and move out of this fearful hunter-gatherer mindset the media has you locked into.

I'll check back tomorrow. I expect to see some progress.
:-)

So this guy Watts...works with a Middle Eastern man who calls Osama his Uncle Bennie, and who brings to work directions on how to make bombs. And neither he, nor his co-workers, becomes suspicious or say anything? We're doomed!
