General Info:
Xavier Pelkey, along with a 15-year-old and 17-year-old from Chicago and Kentucky were allegedly conspiring to meet in Chicago during spring break to carry out mass murder at a Chicago mosque on behalf of the Islamic State terrorist group.

FBI agents raided Pelkey’s home in February and found hand-painted Islamic State flags and crude homemade explosives.

The bombs were made of fireworks bundled together with staples, pins and thumbtacks as shrapnel. Pelkey had a desire to die as a martyr for the Islamic State terror group, FBI agent stated.

Pelkey has been charged with possession of a destructive device without proper registration.

The three terror suspects planned to enter a Shia mosque and separate the adults from the children, then murder the adults in the name of the Islamic State group.

The teens had coordinated their meeting and intended killings over Instagram and other social media platforms. US authorities also raided the teenagers homes in Chicago and Kentucky.

During the searches, they found and seized multiple firearms, including a Remington pump shotgun, swords, knives, a bow and arrows, multiple homemade Islamic State flags, and multiple electronic devices.
