CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge is expected to address the mental fitness of a suburban Chicago terrorist suspect who has spoken about elaborate conspiracies to get him.
A Wednesday status hearing in Chicago follows Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman’s order in January that Adel Daoud be temporarily committed to a U.S. medical center in North Carolina for psychological testing.
The 21-year-old denied trying to ignite a bomb outside a Chicago bar in 2012 in what was actually an FBI sting.
Previous exams found him competent. But new tests were ordered after he spoke in August about a conspiracy involving the judge supposedly hiring Freemasons to serve as his future jurors.
Daoud was also accused last year of attacking a fellow inmate who allegedly taunted him with a cartoon drawing of the Prophet Muhammad.
