WASHINGTON —
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 20, a citizen of Saudi Arabia and resident of Lubbock, Texas, was arrested late yesterday by FBI agents in Texas on a federal charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in connection with his alleged purchase of chemicals and equipment necessary to make an improvised explosive device (IED) and his research of potential U.S. targets.
The arrest and the criminal complaint, which was unsealed in the Northern District of Texas, were announced by David Kris, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; James T. Jacks, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas; and Robert E. Casey Jr., Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Dallas Field Division.
Aldawsari is expected to make his initial appearance in federal court in Lubbock at 9:00 a.m. on Friday morning. Aldawsari, who was lawfully admitted into the United States in 2008 on a student visa and is enrolled at South Plains College near Lubbock, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
According to the affidavit filed in support of the complaint, Aldawsari has been researching online how to construct an IED using several chemicals as ingredients. He has also acquired or taken a substantial step toward acquiring most of the ingredients and equipment necessary to construct an IED and he has conducted online research of several potential U.S. targets, the affidavit alleges. In addition, he has allegedly described his desire for violent jihad and martyrdom in blog postings and a personal journal.
“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.â€

Drudge hints that President George W. Bush may have been a target, which would make this idiot a hero to the DUmp.

I was reading jihadwatch.org/ this morning. The Muslims are killing the infidels (Christians and others) right and left behind their lines to consolidate their bases of operation... when will we be allowed to do the same?

They just teased this story on Fox News.

Rot in jail!

Let's not jump to conclusions. We have no evidence that this is anything but a "lone wolf" acting on his. Nor do we have any proof that his ethnicity is the basis for his actions. [/Presbo mode]

There for a minute I thought you were quoting Obama.

I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you to discover a young arab muslim man would be involved in terrorism.

He said something similar to that after Hasan massacred the soldiers at Fort Hood, I believe.

That's what I was eluding to...../and the beer summit also.

At least once a month we get calls of Middle Eastern males jumping out of cars, taking pictures of high rise buildings, then driving off. They're out there and they're still plotting our destruction.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if
it wasn't for those darn teen-agers and their dog he had changed his name to Jesus Mendez-Delgado and paid the business license fee to start a cleaning and landscaping business to buy all the supplies through.

No long dragged out multi million dollar trial.
This scumbag deserves not even the recognition afforded enemy combatants under the Geneva Convention, he is a terrorist, lower than maggot shit. Interrogate him for every drop of information that can be literally squeezed out of him and then execute him by firing squad ala General Pershing's orders with the bullets dipped in pig's blood. Then bury his sorry carcass in the town dump along with a truckload of pig guts from a slaughterhouse.
Release a video of the whole thing to Al Jiz-eera just like the neanderthals did with Daniel Pearl.
Done deal.

since when is an IED a WMD?

As opposed to his photo op, T-Shirt giveaway, campaign stop, feel good, Look at me ain't I the greatest, more cameras please, we need more civility unless it involves unions moment in Tuscon.
Silly me. I thought Memorial addresses were supposed to be somber moments of reflection and remembrance.

since when is an IED a WMD?
In another e-mail titled “NICE TARGETS 01,” Aldawsari allegedly sent himself the names of 12 reservoir dams in Colorado and California. In another e-mail to himself, titled “NICE TARGETS,” he listed two categories of targets: hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants.
Does that answer your question?

When the IED is under your ass...then it's a WMD.

He had already bought a quantity of sulfuric acid and nitric acid which only put him about 2 steps away from making gun cotton, Nitroglycerin and/or dynamite....but he got greedy... wanted/needed some stronger stuff to attack those targets you mentioned. Thank goodness a couple of people were on their toes and reported his activities to the proper people....some people that were also on their toes and not just the Obama payroll.

I'm no lawyer, but I'm quite certain that the perp's collection of bomb-making chemicals and equipment fits the legal definition for a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
Nobody said a WMD has to be a nuke or even a large bomb.

No, THEN it would be a WAD--Weapon of Ass Destruction. Unless you have a really BIG ass, then it'd be a WMAD--Weapon of Mass Ass Destruction.

What scares me the most is that one of these eventually will be successful.

But guess what? The system worked!!! If you see something, say something. Oh wait, Walmart wasn't involved in this apprehension.

That would be if the first lady was the target!

I bet she'd really get her ass on her shoulders then.

Probably invulnerable to any conventional weapons.
