The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office said the teenager who is an aspiring terrorist and was arrested in an FBI raid last year , will be tried as an adult.

Prosecutors said Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman, who is now 18 years old conducted at least 12 tests on homemade bombs near his family’s home in Wynnefield.

Authorities allege he made searches online for possible targets to consider, including the Philadelphia Pride Parade and critical infrastructure sites like power plants and domestic military bases.

Law enforcement began investigating Abdul-Rahman after they received electronic communications between him and terrorist groups in Syria.
