5 Muslim immigrants appeal NJ terrorism convictions in deadly Fort Dix plot; arguments Monday

5 Muslim immigrants appeal NJ terrorism convictions in deadly Fort Dix plot; arguments Monday...will challenge warrantless seizures enabled by the 2001 Patriot Act as their lawyers appeal their convictions Monday.The defense argues that dubious FBI informants entrapped the young men and that their taped discussions amounted to little more than a religious debate about jihad, or holy war. They will also challenge the constitutionality of a Patriot Act provision used to seize video the defendants had brought to a Circuit City store for reformatting. The footage shows them firing assault weapons and screaming about jihad.
