Suspected terrorist Adel Daoud's trial may be delayed

The trial of a Hillside man accused of trying to blow up a downtown bar with a car bomb may be delayed as a federal judge decides whether he's mentally fit for trial.

On Thursday, Adel Daoud, 22, walked into U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman's downtown Chicago courtroom smiling and waving.

As lawyers agreed to discuss a competency hearing, Daoud asked his attorney, Thomas Anthony Durkin, a question: "Did she read the letter?"

Durkin said she had.

"Well, what did she think of it?" Daoud asked with a smile. Durkin said his letter is what brought him back in the courtroom.

The letter in question was written to Coleman last month. In it, Daoud said Americans are mostly "brainwashed," and his case is "quite literally me vs. The United States of America."For full story, click here.
