Man held in terror plot on mall near Rockford
By Rudolph Bush and Jeff Coen, Tribune staff reporters. Tribune staff reporters Charles Sheehan and Sara Olkon contributed to this report
Published December 9, 2006
A 22-year-old man's alleged plot to stage a deadly terrorist attack in Rockford days before Christmas was marked by violent intentions but no chance of success, according to federal charges released Friday.
A Muslim convert intent on "jihad," Derrick Shareef plotted to use hand grenades and a pistol to kill shoppers at the CherryVale Shopping Center outside of Rockford, authorities charged.
But federal agents and an undercover informant followed him from the plot's outset, U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald said Friday. Authorities didn't specify how they originally learned of Shareef.
Many elements of Shareef's alleged plot, including the idea to attack the mall, came from the informant, the charges said.
Shareef acted alone, and the public was never in any danger, authorities said.
Throughout the plot, he never had any weapons or the money to obtain them, Fitzgerald said.
But he did have violent intent, authorities said.

Why didn't he convert to Christianity if he wanted to commit terrorism?
Should we expect a statement from CAIR on this?

A pattern here.
Beltway snipers
Richard Reid
Sgt. Hasan Akbar
The list is endless of "converts" that resort to violence.

All men are created equal, but what they do after that point puts them on a sliding scale.

So hold on, he's arrested for intent to commit terrorism before he's actually done anything at all to manifest his intent? Even with the most incompetent of attorneys, he's walking!

He isn't going anywhere.
"His plan reached its apex when he tried to trade an undercover federal agent a set of stereo speakers for grenades to attack the mall, authorities said."
grenades are BTW WMDs.
