Ahmed Daoud: Chicago

Adel Daoud Dept: CHICAGO - An attorney for an Illinois teenager charged with trying to ignite what he thought was a car bomb outside of a Chicago bar said Monday that agents may have improperly lured his client by telling him fictitious Islamic religious leaders condoned violence, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Daoud was arrested Friday after allegedly trying to set off a triggering device that was part of a fake mechanism set up by FBI agents as a part of a sting. He faces charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive and in this courtroom sketch, 18-year-old Adel Daoud, stands before Federal Court Judge Arlander Keys, with attorneys Joss Heiman, left, and Thomas Durikn, as Daoud's father Ahmed Daoud, rear, looks on, Monday, Sept. 17, 2012, in Chicago.
