CAMDEN, N.J. — It’s the American dream turned nightmare.
Ferik Duka said last week that he had brought his family to the United States nearly 25 years ago for a better life.
Once, he thought he had found it.
Now, he and his wife, Zurata, sit in a federal courtroom in Camden each day watching and listening as their three oldest children, sons Dritan, 29, Shain, 27, and Eljvir, 25, stand trial on allegations that they plotted a jihad-inspired attack on Fort Dix.
The charges, Ferik Duka said, are ridiculous; his sons are not guilty.
“I’m confident in the American justice system,” he said. “My sons are innocent.”
