"Illinois teen in terror case is granted home confinement" by Michael Tarm | Associated Press, May 03, 2013
CHICAGO — In a rare move for terror cases, a federal judge agreed Thursday to release on home confinement an Illinois teenager charged with seeking to travel abroad and join an Al Qaeda-linked militant group in war-torn Syria.

And they let him go?
Abdella Ahmad Tounisi, 18, of Aurora, was arrested at O’Hare International Airport last month as he allegedly prepared for the first leg of a trip to join Al Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusrah, which is fighting the regime of Syria’s president, Bashar Assad.
Oh, I see. He is one of the "good" CIA-Duh.
In arguing for continued detention, prosecutors also noted Thursday that Tounisi had allegedly spoken with a friend of his last year about bombing targets in Chicago. Tounisi is not charged in that case, though the friend, Adel Daoud, was and is in jail awaiting trial.
After announcing his surprise ruling, US magistrate judge leaned forward on his bench, telling the teen he should take the case seriously.
‘‘This is no game, Mr. Tounisi. OK?’’ Judge Daniel Martin told him.
(?????????????????????)
The slight, short Tounisi stood before the judge in orange jail garb and slippers, flanked by US marshals. About 30 friends and relatives sat on spectator benches; several cried after the judge ruled.
After ruling, the judge stayed his own order for 24 hours to give prosecutors a chance to appeal, which they announced later Thursday they would do. A hearing in the matter was set for Friday.
Approving the release of anyone accused on terrorism charges is uncommon, said Phil Turner, a former federal prosecutor and now private attorney in Chicago.
‘‘It’s incredibly extraordinary,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s usually a different realm with terrorist suspects.’’
Pressure on a judge to hold a terrorist suspect would be all the greater now, said Turner, following the Boston Marathon bombings.
Judge Martin said repeatedly his decision to grant Tounisi release was a close call.
He better not "escape."

"Teen arrested in car bomb plot
I'll bet the teachers taught him how to do it!
CHICAGO — Undercover FBI agents arrested an 18-year-old man who tried to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar, federal prosecutors said Saturday. Adel Daoud, a US citizen from the Chicago suburb of Hillside, was arrested Friday night in an undercover operation in which agents pretending to be extremists provided him with a phony car bomb. The device was inert and the public was never at risk. (AP)
Another load of public relations bs with a stoopid patsy so the government can justify the police-state tyranny and perpetual war state -- against its own people in the land of the free.
All for a $elf-$erving band of elite $pecial intere$t$, if you get what I mean.
"FBI tracks, thwarts Illinois terrorist bid" Associated Press, September 17, 2012
HILLSIDE, Ill. — The investigation started months ago, when the FBI noticed an e-mail message: A man in the Chicago suburbs was using an account to distribute chatter about violent jihad and the killing of Americans.
Two undercover agents reached out and began to talk to him online. In May, they introduced him to another agent who claimed to be a terrorist living in New York.
Maybe I should start typing "Al-FBI-Duh."
The operation ended Friday night, an affidavit describing it says, when the man was arrested and accused of trying to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside a Chicago bar. Prosecutors said an undercover agent gave Adel Daoud, a US citizen from the Chicago suburb of Hillside, a phony car bomb and watched him press the trigger.
The US attorney’s office in Chicago, which announced the arrest Saturday, said the device was harmless, and the public was never at risk.
Yeah, it's just a big psy-op so the FBI can show you how much we need them, and so the false premises of the war on terror can be reinforced.
Think about it: if they weren't creating terrorists to bust they might have to do something else -- like rounding up the Wall Street criminals.
Daoud, 18, is due to make an appearance in federal court Monday morning on charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive.
The FBI often uses similar tactics in counterterrorism investigations, deploying undercover agents to engage suspects in talk of terror plots and provide fake explosive devices.
One time they did not: First WTC attack
In his conversations with the undercover agent, Daoud explained his reasons for wanting to launch an attack, saying the United States was at war ‘‘with Islam and Muslims,’’ the affidavit said.
And anyone else that stands in the way of the New World Order.
Daoud also told the agent he wanted an attack that would kill many people, the document said.
Then why didn't he drive it into the mob of striking teachers, etc?
I mean, I'm not trying to give anyone ideas here. I guess Daoud is just another product of the Amurkn ejerkashunel sistum, 'eh?

Yeah, what a joke.
I think we all know what is next, and it won't be funny at all. Talk about telegraphs.
