Agents arrested the now-25-year-old Adel Daoud in a 2012 sting after he tried to detonate what he believed was a real bomb outside a crowded Chicago bar.
Daoud, of Hillside, Illinois, was temporarily deemed mentally unfit in 2016 after declaring Illuminati and"reptilian overlords" were after him. He entered a no-contest plea in November.Prosecutors want a 40-year prison term, saying Daoud"needed no convincing to kill."
