Hillside Man Sentenced to 27 Years for Attempted Chicago Car Bombing

Adel Daoud's resentencing follows an appeals court's decision to overturn his original 16-year sentence for being too lenient.

Daoud attempted to detonate a 1,000-pound car bomb outside a Chicago bar in 2012 during an FBI sting operation.
The initial 16-year sentence was overturned by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which found it too lenient.
Judge Matthew Kennelly issued the new 27-year sentence, extending Daoud's prison term by more than a decade.
Daoud also faced charges for soliciting the murder of an undercover FBI agent and attacking a fellow inmate.
He will be on supervised release for life after serving his prison term, with eligibility for release in 2035.
