DMB concert bomb suspect to plead guilty
The man charged in last year's Dave Matthews Band concert bomb plot in Chicago will plead guilty, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The FBI and Chicago police arrested Sami Samir Hassoun after he planted what he thought was a bomb outside Wrigley Field after the Sept. 18, 2010 DMB concert there. Hassoun had unknowingly been working with undercover agents who provided him with the fake bomb.
Hassoun had pleaded not guilty to the DMB concert bomb plot in October 2010, but on Dec. 21, federal prosecutors told a judge they had been involved in plea talks with Hassoun's lawyer. The judge canceled Hassoun's trial, which was scheduled to begin in February.

Dave Matthews at Jane Goodall documentary event
Dave Matthews will appear at a live event showcasing a new Jane Goodall documentary.
The documentary, "Jane's Journey," will show in movie theaters across the country Sept. 27, along with a live question-and-answer telecast with Goodall, the famed chimpanzee expert. Dave will be part of the telecast, "to presumably perform and to discuss his time in the field with Goodall," according to the Mother Nature Network.
The Jane Goodall documentary event will not mark the first time she and Dave have worked together. Dave and Tim Reynolds performed a Jane Goodall benefit concert in 2010; as part of that event, Dave and Goodall also discussed politics and the environment with the media.
Watch the trailer for the Jane Goodall documentary event:
