CAMDEN, N.J. — The video that spurred the investigation of five men accused of plotting an attack on soldiers on New Jersey’s Fort Dix shows some of them in camouflage clothing, firing rapid-fire weapons on a snowy driving range.

An investigator who was on the case from the beginning testified Tuesday that the way the men were firing was unusual.

“They were actually advancing toward a target,” said Fred Lang, a member of an FBI anti-terrorism task force who was previously in the military. “Through my years as a firearms instructor, I’ve never seen that done.”

“There’s only one reason for that,” Lang said. “It’s a fire-and-maneuver tactic.”

The video was one of two that jurors were shown in the first day of testimony at the trial.
