The six foreign-born Muslims accused of planning a shooting attack at the US military base included four Kosovo Albanian Muslims affiliated with the KLA, or the Kosovo Liberation Army, a Terrorist Jihad Wahhabi group. The US officials say their arrests highlight how Islamist groups are using the Balkans region to help in recruiting and financing terrorism. Fort Dix hosted Kosovo Albanian refugees in 1999. Eight year’s later 4 Kosovo Albanian jihadists planned to attack this US military facility seeking to kill hundreds of US soldiers. Prosecutors described the men as “radical Islamists,” with four coming from the province of Kosovo in the former Yugoslavia, where the ethnic Albanian population of Muslims fought one of the several wars that grew out of the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Suspect Agron Abdullahu, who faces only weapons violations in the case, was described in court papers as a “sniper in Kosovo.” US officials said the Islamists were motivated by al Qaeda sympathies. The foreign-born Muslims are accused of planning to assault the Army base and slaughter scores of US soldiers with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades.

Retired California Superior Court Judge Eugene Hyman discusses representing yourself in Family Court. Representing yourself in any type of legal matter without the benefit of legal counsel is referred to as acting “Pro Se”. Pro Se (pronounced ‘pro say’) literally means “on one’s own behalf” — you choose to act on your own without hiring an attorney. Legal self representation applies to more than just court proceedings; actions like creating a Last Will and Testament, filing a Deed, handling your own Divorce or filing for Bankruptcy all fall under the pro se category, provided you complete the legal forms and file the paperwork without the advice or representation of a lawyer. WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE REPRESENT THEMSELVES? A variety of legal organizations and bar associations have conducted studies of self-represented litigants, and these studies show that a wide variety of individuals rely upon themselves for handling their legal issues: • Persons with lower than average incomes are more likely to represent themselves. • A significant portion of self-represented individuals report they could have afforded to hire an attorney to represent them, but that they chose not to do so. • Some studies show that those who represent themselves are far more likely to be satisfied with the legal process than those who are represented by attorneys. • Three quarters of those who represented themselves in court said they would do it again before they hired an attorney.
