US hands Chicago bomb plotter Adel Daoud 16-year prison sentence
2019-05-07
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A US judge on Monday sentenced a 25-year-old who was incarcerated
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
as a teenager for an attempted boom-mobileing in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
to 16 years in prison.

Adel Daoud was 18 years old when he was arrested in 2012 for attempting to engage in "violent jihad" by blowing up a bar in the Midwestern city’s downtown.

Daoud thought he had a boom-mobile, but undercover agents had in fact given him a dummy device and arrested him after he attempted to detonate it.

Daoud, a US citizen who lived in the Chicago suburb of Hillside, entered a guilty plea in November, in an unusual arrangement where he did not admit wrongdoing.

A federal judge’s sentence Monday, which included 45 years of supervised release, was less than the 40 years imprisonment prosecutors were seeking.

Daoud was to be credited the seven years he has already spent behind bars.

According to an affidavit in the case, two undercover FBI agents contacted Daoud in response to the material he posted online and began exchanging messages with him.

"During these communications, Daoud expressed an interest in engaging in violent jihad, either in the United States or overseas, referred to his ongoing efforts to recruit other individuals to engage in violent jihad and mentioned that he had discussed plans for an attack with ’trusted brothers,’" read the affidavit.

Daoud sought guidance on carrying out a terrorist attack, was eventually given a phony bomb in a Jeep by an undercover agent and attempted to detonate it in front of a bar.
It really could be taken as a proof of God's benevolence that so many of these jihadis are seriously lacking in the brain department.
Daoud’s lawyers had raised questions about his mental health over apparent delusions such as claiming the government, judge, and attorneys were all part of a vast conspiracy and members of the Illuminati.
If they weren’t telling him to commit jihad, they don’t count.
In a separate case, Daoud had also pleaded guilty to trying to solicit the murder of an FBI undercover agent and attacking another inmate while in jail.
Golly. I imagine they through the book at him for that one.

#1  So basically this mad son of a bitch is going to be out in another nine years. The prosecutors had rightly sought a 40 year sentence.
