Derrick Shareef, also known as Talib Abu Salam Ibn Shareef, is an Islamic terrorist who is charged with trying to purchase grenades and a handgun as part of plan to terrorize shoppers at CherryVale Mall in Rockford, Illinois. FBI agents arrested him on 8 December 2006.[1][2]
Shareef, a convert to the Nation of Islam, was steered by an undercover informant from wanting to "smoke a judge" to a more public plan to "disrupt Christmas."[3]
