Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari arrested in TX
The arrest of Aldawsari occurred on Wed. FBI agents made the criminal arrest. A bomb plot that was targeting the home of the Bush family was being created by the South Plains College student that has been, since 2008, in the U.S. There is one specific charge that Aldawasri faces. Attempt to use a weapon of mass destruction is what he got accused with. Concentrated acids, wiring, clocks and even a Hazmat suit were all found in Aldawsari's apartment in the 2 searches the FBI carried out.
Bush house bomb plot funded by scholarships
In a notebook that FBI agents believe belongs to Aldawsari, plans for “Jihad … (that will) target the infidel Americans” were outlined. A scholarship was awarded to Aldawsari. This was used even with his plans in the United States to carry out "Jihad" as the notebook states. In addition to attending school, Aldawsari made an effort to learn English and just how to make explosives. Allegedly, Aldawsari sent himself e-mails identifying potential targets that included homes of United States military troops, dams and previous President Bush’s residence.
Federal officials criminal arrest Saudi student with chemical company help
Aldawsari came to the attention of federal officials when a chemical business reported him to the police. Aldawsari attempted to purchase concentrated phenol, which could be used to make picric acid, an explosive component. The chemical was for “off-campus, personal research.” This is what Aldawsari told the company. The business found his behavior suspicious and called the police. Federal agents opened an investigation, and within weeks, the arrest was made. The Saudi student’s Bush residence bomb plot could mean up to life in prison and a $250,000 fine if he is found guilty. A public statement hasn't been made by former President George W. Bush yet even though he knows about this.
