Chicago man Adel Daoud, convicted of plotting a bomb attack in Chicago, has been resentenced to 27 years in prison by US District Judge Matthew Kennelly. Daoud, who was initially sentenced to 16 years in 2019 by Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, had his sentence overturned in 2020 by a federal appellate court, which deemed it insufficient. Daoud was arrested in an FBI sting operation in 2012 after attempting to set off a car bomb outside a bar. He pleaded guilty to the charges and was also found guilty of soliciting the murder of an FBI agent involved in the sting operation and attacking a fellow inmate with a makeshift weapon.
