LUBBOCK, TEXAS -- A Lubbock resident and a citizen of Saudi Arabia is in FBI custody on a federal charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari allegedly purchased chemicals and equipment necessary to make an improvised explosive device (IED) and his research of potential U.S. Targets. Aldawsari, was arrested late Wednesday evening...
He was lawfully admitted into the United States in 2008 on a student visa and is enrolled at the South Plains College near Lubbock. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction...
"As alleged in the complaint, Aldawsari purchased ingredients to construct an explosive device and was actively researching potential targets in the United States. Thanks to the efforts of many agents, analysts and prosecutors, this plot was thwarted before it could advance further," said Assistant Attorney General Kris. "This case serves as another reminder of the need for continued vigilance both at home and abroad."
The affidavit also alleges that on February 1, a chemical supplier reported to the FBI a suspicious attempted purchase of concentrated phenol by a man identifying himself as Khallid Aldawsari....
Aldawsari also conducted research on various targets and e-mailed himself information on the locations and people, according to the affidavit....he allegedly sent himself the names of 12 reservoir dams in Colorado and California. In yet another e-mail he listed two categories of targets: hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants..he is said to have sent himself another e-mail titled "Tyrant's House," in which he listed the Dallas address for former President George W. Bush....

He came here on a scholarship: we paid for this.
I'm glad we're keeping a close eye on these dang Amish -
Yeah, Amish who are motivated by Sarah Palin campaign posters
Post 9/11 Bush stopped visas for Saudi students. A few years later he approved 10,000 a year. The Bushes and Hussein are supes for the Saudis. The Saudis own DC, London, Brussels (EU) and a few other western govts.
Think of Charlie Sheen spreading money aropund for w**res. Same concept.
Ping.

I posted this because it is the most thorough story. If you have time, go to the link and read the abundance of hair-raising detail there.
Thanks. I just heard about this.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, hmmm sounds like one of those Southern Baptist terrorists we hear so much about. Maybe he was Luthern or worse ... maybe a Mormon?
Good thing we can’t use profiling, huh? How many times do we have to simply get ‘lucky’ and catch one of these animals; before the Libtards wise up and stop them from coming into this country.
Oh I wasn’t complaining! Glad you posted it. Just thought it might be handy to have the related links too.
“a citizen of Saudi Arabia is in FBI custody on a federal charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari”
I’m glad we’re letting these ragheads in—otherwise, we might have to get rid of the Patriot Act because there’d be no need for it. And where would be be without TSA goons groping senior citizens?
What an idiot. Every email can be tracked, and everyone should know that by now.
Of course, Eric “The Racist” Holder will probably let him go for lack of evidence.
Yes, this story has many details like the fact he possessed the home addresses of three Army vets.
Thanks for posting this.
Hmm. Sounds like another Norwegian foreign student, wild eyed radical. Got to keep an eye on them. How does a twenty year old be “plotting for years,” know about explosives and have the means to figure out logistics on dams?? Working on his own, no doubt.
He was here on a student visa.
It has already been on ABC radio national news in Washington, DC, which means at least ABC is reporting it. If you take time to actually read the article, he didn’t have to come over the Mexican border. We gave him a visa and a scholarship.
“This case serves as another reminder of the need for continued vigilance both at home and abroad.”
No.
“This case serves as a reminder that our policy is a total failure and that NO ONE should be allowed in from middle eastern hell holes, student visa or not.”
Now, blowing up a Lutefisk factory - that I can understand. But one of those Norwegian foreign students all know that blowing up a damn would ruin Ice Fishing for the whole durn’d season.
Please move along, nothing to see here. s/
