A 20-year-old Saudi student has been arrested and charged by the FBI for plotting to build bombs and carry out terrorist attacks in the US, targetting nuclear power plants and the residence of former President George Bush.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, a Saudi citizen and Texas resident, attempted to "use a weapon of mass destruction" and researched online on how to construct an improvised explosive device using several chemicals as ingredients.
According to the criminal complaint unsealed yesterday, Aldawsari conducted research on potential terror targets in the US including hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants and the Dallas address for former President Bush.
Aldawsari had acquired most of the ingredients and equipment necessary to construct the explosive devices. He is expected to appear in federal court later on Friday.
He came to the US in 2008 on a student visa and is enrolled at South Plains College near Lubbock, Texas.
