Good Evening.
The 32-year old man was arrested as he arrived at Chicago's O'Hare airport- from Pakistan.
He was allegedly planning to use a radioactive "dirty bomb" on a target in the United States.
Officials say the plot was in its early stages- and they're not sure of the specific U-S target.
Teri Okita is following the story.
