MIAMI – It took three trials, three juries and nearly three years, but federal prosecutors finally succeeded Tuesday in convicting five Miami men of plotting to start an anti-government insurrection by destroying Chicago's Sears Tower and bombing FBI offices. One man was acquitted.

I have the same questions about the Ft. Dix plotters.

I believe government informants figured prominently in each case... and in each case were alleged to have instigated the plot.
