According to authorities, Muhyyee-ud-din Abdul-Rahman, an 18-year-old Muslim from West Philadelphia, wasn’t just talking. He created and tested bombs at least 12 times near his home, actively preparing for an attack. He communicated through WhatsApp with Islamic extremist groups like Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad and Hay’at Tahrir al Sham—both tied to Al-Qaeda. His profile picture? Osama bin Laden.
MetroPhiladelphia Abdul-Rahman’s phone searches showed he looked up terms like “Philadelphia gay parade” and “trash can bombs,” signaling plans to target the Pride Parade. He also researched nuclear power stations, military bases, and other critical infrastructure, indicating broader plans for large-scale attacks.
Federal agents arrested Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman more than a year ago, when he was 17 years old. At the time, authorities provided few details about the investigation. The District Attorney’s Office provided an update last week after a judge agreed with prosecutors that the case should be moved to adult court.
In an interview shortly after his August 2023 arrest, told investigators that he had exploded between 12 and 20 explosives in wooded areas near his Wynnefield home, according to the DA’s Office.
