Teen held in 'jihad' plot to bomb Chicago bar

A Hillside teenager will appear in federal court today on charges he planned to detonate what he thought was a car bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar.

Adel Daoud, 18, was arrested following a months-long FBI undercover investigation. He was taken into custody after he parked a Jeep Cherokee in front of the bar Friday night and walked into a nearby alley where he tried to detonate the device, court documents allege.

The bomb, which was inert and had been constructed by FBI technicians, didn't explode, according to federal authorities.

Daoud was targeting U.S. citizens because of what he perceived as American abuses overseas and because the U.S. is at war "with Islam and Muslims," according to an FBI affidavit.

Daoud was charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building by means of an explosive.

    Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.. Was this young man not taught this or was he taught and strayed away from his teachings. It is one of millions of example of what can happen if we do not teach our children by GOD'S WORD.

    Bring up your children to love GOD and they will not depart from it. If we do not teach them the commandments of GOD this is what can happen

      That advice works for Judeo-Christian children and parents, not Muslims. They have their own set of hatred rules passed down from their founder…Mohammed.

    The 18 year old wannabe Islamic terrorist in now being described and downplayed by the liberal media. Are these people sick or do they hate America that much. If they hate America then why aren't they shut down and deported (citizen or not) to a Muslim country?

    While it is good to capture these wannabe kids with their "bombs" and warped sense of religion, it would be better is we could put their leaders and teachers out of business so that more kids would not be led astray. Let's find way to do that!!!

    I wonder why he was not charged as a terrorist? Is not the act of attempting to blow up a bomb to kill American Citizens, on American soil, in support of any group or nation which has declared war against the US called Treason?
