News summary

Eighteen-year-old Muhyyee-Ud Din Abdul-Rahman, arrested in August 2023, is facing prosecution as an adult for allegedly attempting to join a terrorist group and planning a mass casualty event targeting Philadelphia's LGBTQ community, specifically the Pride Parade. Prosecutors revealed that he had conducted extensive internet searches for potential attack locations and tested homemade explosives multiple times in his backyard. Authorities discovered bomb-making materials in his trash and evidence of communications with the terrorist group Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad (KTJ), affiliated with al-Qaeda. Abdul-Rahman was reportedly willing to abandon his college wrestling scholarship to pursue a role as a bomb maker for the group. The case underscores serious concerns about domestic terrorism and radicalization among youth, as the District Attorney's office described him as a critical thinker determined to carry out his plans. Bail has been set at $5 million, reflecting the severity of the allegations.
