HILLSIDE, Ill. — A man accused of trying to detonate a car bomb outside a Chicago bar is scheduled to appear in federal court.

Prosecutors say an undercover agent gave 18-year-old Adel Daoud of suburban Hillside a phony car bomb and watched him press the trigger.

Daoud is due in Chicago federal court Monday. He's charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive. Federal prosecutors say the device was harmless and the public was never at risk.
