By PIERRE THOMAS and JASON RYAN

Dec. 8, 2006 — ABC News has learned a Chicago-area man has been charged with plotting a terrorist attack.

Derrick Shareef, of Rockford, Ill was arrested Wednesday by the Joint Terrorism Taskforce when he met an undercover agent to trade hand grenades and a 9-millimeter handgun for a set of stereo speakers.

Shareef is accused of planning to use firearms and explosives to attack the CherryVale shopping mall in Rockford. The alleged plan was to target the 130-store mall during the holiday shopping season.

In September, Shareef became acquainted with a confidential witness who was cooperating with the FBI and confided to him that he wanted to commit acts of violent jihad against civilians.

On December 2, Shareef and the confidential source made video tapes of their last wills and testament.

On the video, Shareef again mentions jihad and says, "This is a warning to those who disbelieve, that we are here for you and I am ready to give my life."

According to the complaint filed today in Chicago, Shareef also discussed attacking local buildings on several occasions, including city hall and the federal courthouse along with the shopping center.

Shareef is being described as a "lone wolf" style terrorist and is not believed to have ties to any organized terrorist group.

    this is why I get pissed off when people tell me there is no threat of terrorism. This is another direct threat to where I live.

    I hate to tell you man but there is always going to be terrorism. You cannot possibly get rid of it. Someone is always going to be pissed off about something and take it way too far. If I read correctly this guy is an American, and the fact that there just as many homegrown terrorists in our country as anywhere else is quite scary.
  • miller8966 wrote:

    Yes, him saying the guy is in custody is him saying bombing a mall isn't a threat...exactly what it meant.

    good lord

    He didn't have to live in fear beforehand either. ;)

    The rational thing to do is worry about your biggest threats in life. But in true form, those are the last things you guys ever worry about.

    Chances are the pollutants you've breathed in will cause you more harm in your life time than a terrorist ever will.

    I'm sure it's more possible that you will die in a car wreck/airplane crash at the age of 24 than a terrorist attack.

    Ok. Then you should steer clear of cars, fire, deep water, other americans and all the other things that can instantly kill you that all also happen at a much greater rate than a terrorist will. And it couldn't hurt to tuck your blankie in extra tight at night.

    dont own a car. I rely on public transportation.


    fire

    ok check. dont play with matches.
    deep water,

    ok check, no deep water.

    other americans and all the other things that can instantly kill you that all also happen at a much greater rate than a terrorist will. And it couldn't hurt to tuck your blankie in extra tight at night.

    good thing you live on a farm. you arent at risk of a terrorist attack of any sort.

    No farm, though it does sound lovely. The threat of terrorism isn't great enough for you to change your lifestyle or live in fear. But clearly reasoning has no place in the mind of the person who needs to be what to be frightened of instead of weighing out the dangers for himself.
