“Prominent Witnesses Line Up for Alleged Saudi Bomb Plotter”

SNIPPET: “A Saudi man charged in Texas with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction may have a former top FBI official and a prominent academic known to work with radical Islamists in his corner.
Attorneys for Khaled Aldawsari say they intend to call former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Danny Coulson and Georgetown University Professor John Esposito among their expert witnesses.
Coulson, who helped supervise the FBI’s Oklahoma City bombing investigation, will “address several shortfalls and improper tactics, techniques, and procedures that were used by investigators and law enforcement in this case,” defense attorneys wrote in a notice to the court last week.
Though he appears on the defense expert witness list, Coulson told Politico that his testimony is not certain. “I do some defense work for different clients and was asked to consult on it by a law firm representing him,” Coulson said. But he hasn’t reviewed any evidence “has not yet formed an opinion about whether or not Aldawsari is guilty,” Politico reported.
Aldawsari was arrested a year ago in Lubbock, Texas after a freight company contacted authorities about a shipment of concentrated phenol, a toxic chemical used to construct the explosive T.N.P. Subsequent surveillance showed that used multiple email accounts to send himself information about explosives and targets.”
