Share this
A Chicago man has been charged with plotting to bomb a strip of crowded night spots about the time people were leaving a Dave Matthews concert at Wrigley Field over the weekend.
Sami Samir Hassoun, 22, was arrested as he placed a backpack containing what he thought were high explosives in a trash can in front of Sluggers, about a block south of Wrigley Field, according to the FBI.
Houssoun had also discussed other violent plots in Chicago, including a biological attack on the city, poisoning Lake Michigan, attacking police officers, bombing the Willis Tower and assassinating Mayor Richard Daley, the FBI said.
