Sami Samir Hassoun: Chicago Cubs

Undercover FBI Agents Dept: Sami Samir Hassoun admitted in a plea agreement last year that he took what he thought was a bomb from undercover FBI agents and put it into a trash bin near the home of the Chicago Cubs in the summer of 2010. He is due to be sentenced on April 12, according to Montreal Gazette. The FBI notes from March 1, 2010, were released in a court filing in which defence attorneys asked prosecutors to turn over more details about the informant, including how much the person was paid. In the notes, agents worried the informant "is or is close to committing entrapment with Sami." The informant was taken aside "and it was emphasized not to encourage Sami to get involved in illegal activity." CHICAGO - Attorneys for a young Lebanese immigrant who pleaded guilty to placing what he thought was a bomb in a backpack near Wrigley Field have disclosed FBI notes that indicate agents feared an informant might entrap the Chicago man during their investigation. The informant played a central role by befriending Hassoun and later tipped off undercover FBI agents. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
