LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Jury selection is set to begin Thursday in the trial of a Saudi man accused of gathering bomb components with the intention of targeting sites across the U.S. including former President George W. Bush's Dallas home.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 22, a former Texas Tech University chemical engineering student, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, and faces up to life in prison if convicted. Attorneys plan to use an insanity defense, court records show.
Federal agents secretly searched Aldawsari's apartment in Lubbock, Texas, twice in the days leading up to his arrest in February last year. They say they found almost everything needed to build a bomb, including chemicals, beakers, flasks, wiring, a hazmat suit and clocks, which he had bought online in the previous months.

I thought Islam was a PEACEFUL religion!!!!

I wonder if GWB would still have insisted that islam is a ROP had Aldawsari been successful in blowing up Bush’ Dallas home.
Item one in my immigration reform position is protecting the borders to include visa reform. Prospective visa holders must be vetted, tracked while in the country and held to the terms of the visa. This guy wouldn’t has made it. We have to nail these guys either by keeping them out or if the get in, nail them when they can’t cut the mustard at their school. Now a visa is a free pass. My wife was thoroughly vetted before she came here as a nurse and she had to report her address and employment here.
