Just as in the first trial, jurors hit a stalemate in the case against six men accused of scheming to destroy the Sears Tower in Chicago and bomb FBI offices in Miami and elsewhere. They were told to continue deliberating nonetheless.

"We are unable to come to a unanimous decision on any of the counts for all of the defendants," the note read.
