5th Plotter in Fort Dix Case Gets 33 Year Sentence

Four other men received life sentences in hearings over the last two days

A fifth man convicted of plotting to kill military personnel in the Fort Dix trial has been sentenced to 33 years in prison.

Twenty-five-year-old Philadelphia convenience store clerk Serdar Tatar was convicted though he seemed to have minimal interaction with the four other convicted plotters for a time.

His main role was providing a map of Fort Dix from his father's pizza shop near the Army installation in New Jersey.

Tatar's lawyer argued that he should get a lighter sentence than the others, and U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler said Wednesday that he lacked the religious fervor of the others and could be rehabilitated in prison.
