Jeep Cherokee Used in Attempted Terrorist Attack
Teen held in 'jihad' terrorist plot to bomb Chicago bar
A Hillside teenager has been charged with trying to detonate a car bomb outside a bar in downtown Chicago, following months of surveillance in which he boasted to undercover federal agents of ignoring reprimands from a mosque leader against plans for terrorism, the U.S. attorney's office announced. Adel Daoud, 18, parked a green Jeep Cherokee in front of the bar Friday night, then tried to detonate a device he believed to be a bomb as he walked away into an alley, court documents allege...... |
Government will now ban green jeep Cherokees
|
And the XJ was saved.

Idiot shouldn't have used a bomb proof vehicle.

I'm confused, the FBI planted a fake bomb? And this kid tried to set it off?

Yes! the feds sold the kid an old Pinto, with a wick hanging out of the gas tank.
|
FBI officials met with him in my town. I believe that is because there is a mosque there. Likely the one he attended. I also believe, someone from there turned him in.
|
Great... Now the government is going to try to plant a bomb in my Cherokee. Perfect.

Basically they cannot arrest him unless he commits the act. |

They'll basically talk some pissed off Muslim kid into setting a bomb off, provide him with everything, let him go try to blow it up then arrest him under terrorism charges when it fails. Same **** they do with fake drug deals and bait cars.
And wasn't there another similar thing that happened something about an xj at an airport with explosives? Maybe I'm crazy. |
government isnt after my xj.....pwewww mines red!

Honestly, it may not be the most moral way of doing what they did BUT I'd rather him get baited into a fake attack then real terrorists talking him into actual doing damage.

You may never try smoking weed, but if I hang out with you, pressure you into it, and hand you a joint and a lighter odds are you will. Sure, you're guilty of acting, but I'm guilty of coercing you into it. I can't definitively say you've acted on your own and were going to do it regardless had I not been there to supply you with everything. This sort of thing used to be called entrapment but people have stopped giving a damn about since we started giving up civil liberties left and right since 9/11. |
