A Philadelphia teenager, who authorities say was planning to travel overseas to make bombs for terrorist organizations, will be tried as an adult. The District Attorney's office revealed more details of the allegations against the now 18-year-old Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman, who was arrested in August 2023. His bail has been set at $5 million.
Prosecutors claim that Abdul-Rahman conducted tests on homemade bombs near his family's home and was close to being able to detonate devices with a blast radius of several hundred yards. They also allege that he showed interest in targeting events like the Philadelphia Pride parade and critical infrastructure sites such as power plants and military bases.
