“Life Sentence for Would-Be Saudi Terrorist”

SNIPPET: “Khalid Aldawsari, 22, was convicted in June of attempting to use weapons of mass destruction in plots to attack hydroelectric dams, nuclear plants, and the Dallas residence of former President George W. Bush. Prosecutors say he obtained many of the ingredients needed to make an improvised explosive device and wrote of his wish of becoming a martyr during a terrorist attack.
He was in the United States on a student visa, attending college in Lubbock, Tex. According to his own journal entries, Aldawsari won a scholarship but merely saw it as a way to further his violent ambitions.
The scholarship “will help tremendously in providing me with the support I need for Jihad, God willing,” he wrote. “And now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for jihad.””
SNIPPET: “Law enforcement was drawn to Aldawsari after a chemical company and a trucking service each were suspicious about his order and reported it to authorities.”

SNIPPET: “The FBI depends on private industry and the general public to help fight terrorism. Weapons of mass destruction coordinators in each of the 56 FBI field offices, along with other agents, regularly meet with representatives from industry and academic institutions, public health officials, local law enforcement, and first responders to raise awareness about threats to our national security.”
SNIPPET: “By this point, surveillance teams were monitoring Aldawsari around the clock. “He was searching online for large targets such as dams and electrical plants,” Thompson said. He also searched for ways to conceal explosives in baby dolls and carriages and even sought the Texas address of former President George W. Bush.”
