According to an FBI affidavit, three teens planned to enter a Shia mosque in Chicago 'and separate the adults from the children, then murder the adults.'
Newly unsealed court documents reveal a 15-year-old boy from Chicago is accused of plotting with two other teens – one from Maine and one from Kentucky – to attack at least one Shia mosque in Chicago and commit mass murder.
At the time of Pelkey's arrest, prosecutors said they believe he planned to come to Chicago to attack houses of worship. Prosecutors said Pelkey was talking to two juveniles about his plans to attack a mosque and possible a synagogue. Days before the search of Pelkey's home, FBI agents also executed a search warrant at the 15-year-old boy's home in Chicago, and during that search, the boy told agents he had been in contact with Pelkey – who identified himself on line as"Abdullah" – and the 17-year-old using Instagram and other chat options.
According to the affidavit, the 15-year-old said they were planning to enter the mosque"and separate the adults from the children, then murder the adults."
