Brian Morgenstern, a 26-year-old clerk at a Circuit City in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, was given the 8 mm tape January 31, 2006, by two men, whom he described as "normal people." They asked him to convert it to DVD format.


Authorities said the tape showed 10 young men shooting at a practice range and shouting in Arabic, "Allahu Akbar" -- "God is great."


I actually waited that night and weighed out my decisions, and I went home and talked to my family about it.

The next day, Morgenstern returned to work and told his manager about the tape and his decision to alert the police. He described Circuit City as being "very supportive" regarding the situation.


"The police came over, they took a look at the film," he said.

they stopped it at one point and said, 'OK, this is serious, we need a copy.'

Five of the men are charged with conspiring to kill military personnel and, if found guilty, could face life in prison. The sixth faces up to 10 years in prison if he is convicted of weapons charges.
