The father of one of the young men arrested in the Fort Dix terror plot is in danger of losing the business he's spent years building up. I'm not surprised that he's losing customers, but it's a shame to see the innocent suffer.

The father of one of the six men charged with plotting to massacre soldiers at Fort Dix says the business that he's nurtured near the base for years is all but ruined since his son's arrest.

Muslim Tatar, who has owned Super Mario's Pizza for five years, said his lunchtime crowd from nearby McGuire Air Force Base and Fort Dix has largely disappeared, replaced by empty tables and nasty words from passing motorists.

"Now I am a target," Tatar, 52, said, adding that his business is "99 percent dead."
