Accused Chicago bomb plotter indicted for seeking murder of FBI agent
Thu Aug 29, 2013 8:32pm EDT
(Reuters) - A man accused of trying to set off a car bomb in Chicago was indicted on Thursday in a murder-for-hire plot designed to kill an undercover FBI agent who was going to testify against him.
Adel Daoud, 19, a U.S. citizen living in the Chicago suburb of Hillside, was indicted by a federal grand jury on one count each of solicitation of murder, murder-for-hire, and obstruction of justice.
Daoud learned after his September arrest that the individual who posed as a terrorist from New York and supplied him with what he believed to be explosives was an undercover FBI agent, according to the indictment. The charges allege that Daoud wanted the agent dead to prevent him from testifying in court, prosecutors said.
Daoud pleaded not guilty last year to one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and one count of attempt to damage and destroy a building by means of an explosive.
