Breaking: Saudi Jihadist Arrested in Texas on Terror Charges, Purchased Bomb Materials, Had Target List Including Bush, Nightclubs…
This is the real deal, no FBI sting for the left to claim entrapment.
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.”
The affidavit alleges that on Feb. 1, 2011, a chemical supplier reported to the FBI a suspicious attempted purchase of concentrated phenol by a man identifying himself as Khalid Aldawsari. According to the affidavit, phenol is a toxic chemical with legitimate uses, but can also be used to make the explosive trinitrophenol, also known as T.N.P., or picric acid. The affidavit alleges that other ingredients typically used with phenol to make picric acid, or T.N.P., are concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids.
Aldawsari allegedly attempted to have the phenol order shipped to a freight company so it could be held for him there, but the freight company returned the order to the supplier and called the police. Later, Aldawsari falsely told the supplier he was associated with a university and wanted the phenol for “off-campus, personal research.” Frustrated by questions being asked over his phenol order, Aldawsari cancelled his order and later e-mailed himself instructions for producing phenol. The affidavit alleges that in December 2010, he successfully purchased concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids.
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. On Feb. 6, 2011, the affidavit alleges, Aldawsari sent himself an e-mail titled “Tyrant’s House,” in which he listed the Dallas address for former President George W. Bush. The affidavit also alleges that Aldawsari conducted research that could indicate his consideration of the use of infant dolls to conceal explosives and possible targeting of a nightclub with an explosive concealed in a backpack.
The affidavit also alleges that Aldawsari created a blog in which he posted extremist messages. In one posting, he expressed dissatisfaction with current conditions of Muslims and vowed jihad and martyrdom. “You who created mankind. . . . grant me martyrdom for Your sake and make jihad easy for me only in Your path,” he wrote.

No chance on earth this dude happens to be Muslim?! that would be a one in a million chance…
How did he get in the country? The Mexican border?
gastorab
I’m going to guess a student visa, we hand them out to Saudis like candy.
WE MUST HELP HIM!…
@ ZIP
That would coincide with the statement; “off-campus, personal research.”
.
We can not let a muzzy in the Ditch without giving him a helping Hand, it’s a Misunderstander of islam that’s sure! They are all our Brothers.
Searching for IED equipment/methods online!?! Did he use NSA sanctioned GOOGLE? Thank God most of these guys are idiots.
I got 5 bucks that says he’s..
1. A muslim
2. Thinks we are infidels
3. Was planning on saying Alluha Akbar just before the explosion
4. Frequented strip clubs but made his girl where a head scarf (hijab?)
Sounds like we could use him in SEAL – BUDS – UWD training
UWD = Under Water Demolitions ? Noooo …….
Under Wahabbi Demolitions.
I hate these fuckers. Obama isn’t going to do jack shit to help us if they figure out a way to actually set off some homemade bombs..
He needs his 9/11 for his re-election campaign.
Deport all Muslim….. If they want to here in America make then proof it give up Islam. screw them if they won’t.
Hey wait! Didn’t Michael Moore say that Saudi’s love George W. Bush?
Obama probably funded this POS jihad.
It is only a matter of time before one of these pieces of crap get lucky and actually blow something up. I am sick of the political correctness. Political Correctness is costing American lives wake the F up
I never understood why Bush seemed to go out of his way to permit so many saudi “students” to come to America. I would be more than happy to see all muslim middle easterners who are not citizens – and I would include those that are dual citizens – deported.
And yeah, one of these days – one of these jackasses is going to get it right. Then we will have a lot of deaths as a result of our stupid policies towards the muzzies.
CAIR will probably come out with a statement saying that he just wanted to make fireworks or a small somethig to show his opinion of (nearby) Texas Tech’s basketball season, or that it is for a celebration related to the Eid al [insert holiday here]. Nothing to see, nothing going on, move along.
Oh, and they’ll sue the chemical and shipping companies for racism in not taking a Saudi citizen at his word.
Didn’t I read somewhere that Obama donated money to CAIR
Give him a fair trial , then hang him!
Well, sure, Lubbock makes lots of people homicidally violent.
I’m kidding. My real reaction was more along the lines of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Obama will give him amnesty after 6 weeks in prison

Just confirmed on Fox…STUDENT VISA!
Why do we still allow these koranimals into the US so easily? I don’t suppose the Fraudi government financial contributions and grants to many universities and other educational organizations have anything to do with it. Naah, couldn’t be. I remember when I was in college almost 20 years ago that most of the Fraudis preferred to stay drunk/stoned and chase women rather than do anything academic. One of my profs. admitted to me privately that the uni knew that the bastards were useless cheaters but didn’t dare do anything to change it because it would jeopardize the grant and the training program they had set up with ARAMCO.
It was the same way in the military too. I don’t know how many ragheads we had who flunked out of training programs either deliberately (to stay in the US longer) or due to stupidity (too many long drinking sessions and chasing the hookers downtown) who were passed “with a GI pencil” just because the DOD wanted that money for their training back. Rumor had it that the ones sent back home to the magic kingdom in failure would be beheaded.
Can someone please explain to me again what academic purpose it serves to have these idiots in our country other than for target practice? It seems that alot of European and US universities now have branches in the sands of the desert. They really have no reason to be here.
Bush handed out about 50,000 student visas, the Brits even more, reason is money, they’ve been bribed, and the moslems have lavished billions of US and UK universities, funding Islamic studies courses (taught, of course, by Moslems or Moslem-enabling Lefties). Also, quite a few of the ‘schools’ they attend are either non-existent or just fronts for passing the phony students on into the general population where they become parasites of the benefits systems.
My mistake on my last post Obama donated $50.000 to CARE not CAIR
I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m betting his last name is “Al-Dossary,” not “Aldawsari.” Al-Dossary is a big – huge – name over in Saudi – there are Al-Dossary’s everywhere and in everything. Construction, stores, offices… The chief pilot at Aramco. How convenient to have a last name so similar yet so different than a major name from Saudi.
Did we figure out what we did that made him hate us so much?
Racial profiling is the only workable solution.We continue to kowtow to these dirty,murderous assholes and we are enabling them to kill our citizens.
Most of the 9/11 hi-jackers were Saudis. We are at war with radical Islam,despite what our president tells us.Yet,we refuse to make the tough decisions and target the real enemy. TSA will fondle your seven year old boy and stick their fingers up Granny’s ass,but God forbid we might insult some fucking Muslim by keeping him from coming to our country and studying in our schools and perfecting hid deadly trade. We must be sensitive to their feelings,right?
BULLSHIT!!!!! SEND THE SANDMONKEYS HOME,NOW!!!!
Put them all in camps, start with Hussein and the Wookie
Bornfree, we aren’t at war with radical Islam. We are at war with Islam. Period.
Islam is radical.
“Radical” Islam is a redundancy.
I hate the term radical Islam because it lulls people into a false sense of security. It makes ppl think that it isn’t Islam per se, but ppl radicalizing it. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are simply following the teachings. No misinterpreting going on.
Two taps in the back of the head.
He acted stupidly. Near Beer Summit soon. Geesh, I post this at least once a week. So many beer summits, so little time for Obama.
Grant him his martyrdom.
funny, he doesnt sound Jewish
Needs to be shot by firing squad and buried in a fresh pigskin.
Must be one of those “moderate” Muslims. Fuck the whole lot of them, and the proggies in bed with them.
gullah….
Understood! I definitely mean Islam and don’t believe there is a non-radical version. I see your point.
open the internment camps
Islam is a religion for all people .. And the person chooses of his own religion .. Islam is a religion and does not allow violence to people and that the Saudi student accused not guilty so far .. Of civility and respect for the rights of people to listen to the end and then take the decision and America benefit from the presence of students on scholarships because their pay them large sums of money America needs them, and I know that the American people respect the freedom of opinion and this is my
