nothing to do with sports but does have to do with IL
A man was arrested in the Chicago area on Friday for allegedly plotting to attack Rockford, Ill., over the holidays, officials told NBC News.
The plan involved a bombing and a shooting, the officials said.
The man had no accomplices and was not part of a terrorist cell, sources said on condition of anonymity. He will be appearing in court later Friday, NBC's Pete Williams reported.
The FBI has been aware of the plot and has been monitoring him closely, Williams reported. The plan was allegedly ideologically motivated. No other details were released, but authorities said the arrest eliminated the risk of the attack being carried out.

WTF?
Just a wild guess, but he must have been mad at a former employer.....
Isn't this a baseball website?
Heres the new story
A Rockford man is being held on terrorism-related charges after he allegedly targeted a shopping mall.
Derrick Shareef, 22, targeted the Cherry Vale shopping mall in Rockford, FBI spokesman Tom Simon said.
Shareef allegedly dealt with an undercover FBI agent, trading stereo speakers for hand grenades.
Lol
Still sort of shocking to me though. I live in Rockford and go to CherryVale all the time. I hope he rots in prison.
