Jul 19, 2024, 09:35 PM

Adel Daoud, a man from Hillside, has been resentenced to 27 years in prison for attempting to detonate a car bomb outside a crowded bar in downtown Chicago in 2012. Daoud's initial sentence was deemed too lenient by a federal appeals court nearly four years ago, leading to the resentencing. The incident involved a purported bomb intended to cause massive destruction, and the new sentence reflects the severity of the terrorism plot. The federal appeals court found the initial sentence too lenient, prompting the resentencing of the suburban Chicago man.
