Feds: Man tried to explode bomb on busy Wrigleyville street

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A 22-year-old North Side man who wanted to bring political change to the city was arrested early Sunday after placing a backpack which he thought contained explosives into a trash can on a crowded street near Wrigley Field.

Sami Samir Hassoun, a Lebanese citizen and permanent U.S. resident, was arrested just after midnight Sunday morning without incident on North Seminary Avenue near the 3500 block of North Clark Street by members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, according to a release from the FBI.

The arrest followed an investigation that accelerated in June, according to the release. The FBI said the public was never in danger as the explosive device was provided to Hassoun by an undercover agent.

A federal criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court alleges Hassoun's motivation for planning the attack was a combination of greed and political dissatisfaction.

How politically correct of the Justice Department and the Chicago Sun-Times just "greed and political dissatisfaction."
