ABC News has learned a Chicago-area man has been charged with plotting a terrorist attack.
Sources say the man is accused of planning to use firearms and explosives to attack a specific mall in Rockford, Ill. The alleged plan was to target this mall during the holiday shopping season.
The suspect is being described as a "lone wolf" style terrorist and is not believed to have ties to any organized terrorist group.
Charges are expected to be formally announced in Chicago later today.
Update: WLS reports "The suspect -- who has been linked to al Qaeda -- is scheduled to appear in court later today."
Update II: WLS has removed the above statement and replaced it with this: The suspect is being described as a "lone wolf" style terrorist and is not believed to have ties to any organized terrorist group.
Another example of the MSM getting it right the first time ..sigh.
UpdateIII: The mans name is Talib Abu Salam Ibn Shareef. Oh jeez, not another Southern Baptist.
