clearvision Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 New York Times:A 20-year-old Saudi student living in Texas has been arrested by federal agents, who charged him with planning to build bombs for terror attacks inside the United States, the Justice Department announced on Thursday.According to an affidavit filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the man, Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, indicated in online research and in a journal that he was considering attacking the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush as well as hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, night clubs, and soldiers who were formerly stationed at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.Mr. Aldawsari, a business major at South Plains College in Lubbock, Texas, is in the United States legally on a student visa, the bureau said. He came to the government’s attention on Feb. 1, when a North Carolina supply company reported that he had tried to order five liters of a chemical that can be used to make an explosive. ------------Good thing a private company was on the ball.

SrWoodchuck Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I had to check that this was actually a New York Slimes article. Unbelievable. Mostly straight news and only a brief mention of the "Tyrant" George Bush's, Dallas home. I hope thay don't send him back to Shoddy Arabia for repatriation.....next stop Yemen.

I could be wrong but I wonder if Scott Walker's attempt to bust the teachers union could have caused this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTexan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Mr. Aldawsari, a business major at South Plains College in Lubbock, Texas Hmmmmm... At least they didn't refer to him as The Most Honorable Mister Aldawsari. I don't remember them being so deferential to the guy that their journalist just called "Bush" when he was in the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
