US teenager charged with trying to bomb Chicago bar

On July 17, Mr Daoud met with an undercover FBI agent introduced to him as a
purported cousin of one of the other agents and an “operational
terrorist.”

At a subsequent meeting in early August, the pair discussed “plans to
carry out an attack in the Chicago area with a vehicle containing explosives,”
the document added.

During that gathering, Daoud allegedly showed the undercover agent four
handwritten pages from a notebook that listed about 29 potential targets,
including military recruiting centres, bars, malls and other tourist
attractions in and around Chicago.

Other meetings followed, interspersed by electronic communications.

Around 8:00pm on Friday night, he allegedly drove the Jeep containing the fake
bomb – which had been left in a parking lot – in front of an unnamed bar in
downtown Chicago.

From an alley about a street away, he attempted to detonate the device and was
subsequently taken into custody by the FBI.
