A college student from Saudi Arabia studying chemical engineering in Texas has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly planning a terrorist attack on U.S. targets using explosive chemicals.
Khalid Aldawsari, who is legally in the U.S. on a student visa, allegedly targeted the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush. He was arrested late Tuesday on a federal charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
“Yesterday’s arrest demonstrates the need for and the importance of vigilance and the willingness of private individuals and companies to ask questions and contact the authorities when confronted with suspicious activities,” said James T. Jacks, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas.
Aldawsari, 20, entered the U.S. in October 2008 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to study at Texas Tech University, then transferred earlier this year to nearby South Plains College.
Federal prosecutors say Aldawsari had been researching online how to construct an improvised explosive device using several chemicals as ingredients. Authorities say Aldawsari's diary indicated the young man had been plotting an attack for years and obtained a scholarship so he could come directly to the United State to carry out jihad.
"It is war ... until the infidels leave defeated," Aldawsari wrote in online postings.
In e-mails Aldawsari apparently sent himself, he listed the names of 12 reservoir dams in Colorado and California. He also wrote an e-mail that mentioned "Tyrant's House" with the address of President Bush's home. The FBI's affidavit said he considered using infant dolls to hide explosives and was possibly targeting a nightclub with a backpack filled with explosives.
The White House said President Barack Obama was notified about the plot prior to Aldawsari's arrest Wednesday.

This story will be covered nowhere but the FNC.
I’m shocked!
Not true. It’s pretty wide spread. Lots of sources on the other ten threads.
Maybe he’ll be shot trying to escape? Ya think? It would sure put some attorney’s out of business and save the public a lot of money.

When are we going to learn?
Take him to Cowboys Stadium, waterboard him, then beat the crap out him with the waterboard itself. Put it on the big screen. Do a pay-per-view. Heck, I’d even sit through the Black Eyed Peas at the half.
It must not have been notified early enough for a heads-up to be relayed to the Jihadist.
Why are they allowed in this country? They don’t come to study. They get a student visa and then do what they want.
NO! Not Black Eyed Peas. Just let the Cowboy’s take care of him. They have enough thugs.
-——They don’t come to study-——
My experience is to the contrary.
They come to be educated and learn to be citizens of a world much larger than the Arabian Peninsula. To be sure there are some who have problem with the freedom and all pervasive sin but they are far from typical. A vast number of American students can’t stand the temptations of large state universities and are home by the end of the first semester and the first year.
It was recognized long long ago by Saudis that American community colleges were an inexpensive source of a good education and free from the temptations of the large state universities, at least for the first year or two. They take advantage of that opportunity. There are even recruiting efforts by community colleges familiar with such students and anxious to have full time tuition paying students.
The person is question is atypical.
It’s all over the place.

That’s not possible, it can’t be a Saudi.
Saudis are our friends, always have been, always will be. Aren’t they the friendly folks that foot the bill for these sinister mosques that pollute and deface the American landscape?
“It’s all over the place.”
Suprisingly so.
No, not the Black Eyed Peas. Reform Pantera (find a substitute for Dime Bag). Make sure Phil Anselmo isn’t an @$$hole. Cowboys from Hell.
“Khalid Aldawsari, who is legally in the U.S. on a student visa, allegedly targeted the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush.”
This brings up a couple of interesting facts.
#1...It wasn’t just Obammy that has increased these Muslim visas ....George Bush did it too! One has to wonder if he now realizes how insane it was to give the muslim lover Grover Norquist the power to push this nonsense.
#2....Shows just how CRAZY these imports are....Bush was their best friend next to Obama.
