MIAMI — War with the American government was at the heart of a terrorist plot to destroy Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices, a prosecutor said yesterday during closing arguments in the retrial for six Miami men accused of conspiring with Al Qaeda. The alleged ringleader and the others conspired with a FBI informant who pretended he was from Al Qaeda with the hope of starting an anti-government war, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Gregorie said.
