A blog post on the Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Emad Karakrah, 49, was charged with felony counts of disorderly conduct and aggravated fleeing; and a misdemeanor count of driving on a never-issued license, according to Chicago Police. He was also issued three traffic citations.
Someone called police after seeing a “suspicious person” driving a silver Pontiac southbound in the 7700 block of South Kedzie at 9:18 a.m. with an ISIS flag waving out the window, according to a police report.
Officers attempted to pull over the vehicle, but the driver took off, according to the report. The officers called for assistance, and another officer pulled the vehicle over after it went through several red lights.
The man told police during his arrest that there was a bomb in the car and he would detonate it if they searched the vehicle, according to the report.

@Suntimes @tamaraholder @CSTbreaking It's a logical progression to go from gang-banger to ISIS terrorist…Somebody needs to pay attention.

You risk much driving around Chicago with an ISIS flag.
Even the gang bangers want a shot at shooting them!— the WOLFman (@APackMentality) August 28, 2014
Dear Chicago Gangs, utilize your hate for each other and go fight ISIS, we will take care of cleaning up the city.
