Man threatened to blow up CTA bus in 'jihad' Police: No hate crime charges against black jihadist

A man threatened to blow up a CTA bus and told police he was "jihad against the white devil" this week, causing evening rush hour passengers to flee in fear for their lives.
A judge set bail at $90,000 Tuesday for Caleb Russell, 23, of the 4700 block of South Woodlawn Avenue, who was charged with making a bomb threat, a felony.
 Russell was aboard a CTA bus that was westbound on Chicago Avenue at Orleans Street in the River North neighborhood Monday about 6:20 p.m. when officers on patrol saw the bus stop in the middle of the intersection.
 Several passengers told police that Russell made derogatory and racial remarks and threatened to “blow this motherfucker up,’’.
 Russell also began yelling racial slurs at responding officers and said he was “jihad against the white devil,’’.
 After the driver pushed the panic button, numerous passengers who “feared for their lives’’ exited from the rear and front of the bus
