Saudi man charged with plotting terrorist attack

[Jroc]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has arrested a 20-year-old Saudi student in Texas suspected of planning a terrorist attack using explosive chemicals. The FBI says his possible targets included the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush.

Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, attending college near Lubbock, Texas, was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. Federal prosecutors say he had been researching online how to construct an improvised explosive device using several chemicals as ingredients.

Federal authorities say Aldawsari's diary indicated the young man had been plotting an attack for years and obtained a scholarship so he could come directly to the United States to carry out jihad.
Aldawsari is expected to appear in federal court in Lubbock on Friday morning.

Can someone please explain to me why CAIR and the ACLU are targeting the people responsible for protecting Americans.

Can someone explain to me why we are allowing foreigners into this country to begin with?

In the case of this new Jihadist who is featured in the OP, the reason we let him in is so that he could acquire and education, learn English and use his skills to target America with more violent Jihad.

SOME immigrants actually want to come here to further their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Maybe even to help the world.

Then again, some fuckwads come here to end lives.

Personally, I believe we have a right and even an obligation to screen these folks carefully prior to their admission in the hope that maybe we can exclude as many of the latter set as possible.

I believe we have the obligation to do even more....

Not only do I believe they ought to be screened, I believe they ought to be isolated and quaranteened for a minimum of six months upon their arrival; during which time they would be forcibly exposed to Big Macs, pork chops, pizza, baseball, the NFL, pornography, and many other facets of American culture and society. Those that embrace those things would be allowed to stay. Those that don't would be sent home.

I'm not sure I support going quite THAT far.

I do. Were you aware that if you import an animal (dog, horse, etc...) into this country from a reputable breeder abroad that the animal is required to have a ton of paperwork, and still be quarantined for a period of time (a minimum of 30 days up to 6 months I believe) before it's allowed into the country? Why are we more concerned about these four footed animals coming in from abroad than we are about the two footed ones?

Good work FBI

And he was one of the legal ones. God only knows how many have come across our southern border illegally.

It was only about a month ago that Iranian Martyrdom Book was found near the border.

Next 9/11 will not be from airplanes. It will be via a truckload of middle eastern people with taco filled bellies

Did the Patriot Act play a part?

It was ordinary citizens that tipped off the FBI. God Bless those bigots.

Well, they've already managed to intercept the components for a dirty bomb on their way into the country.

One wonders.... if they had used waterboarding to get the information that led to that interception... would people be quite so strong in their opinion that it is always wrong? Personally, I rate protecting Americans above the sensitivities of a few scumbag terrorists, but that's just me.

All these libs who call us racist simply because we conservatives want to profile and secure our boarders are a big part of the problem. They'd rather be politically correct than logical, which is the problem with liberalism in general. Maybe he'll get a ACLU lawyer to defend him.

Give me a break. HE was going to blow Bush's ranch and nuclear plants? LMAO
Illegal aliens do better than that. They kill 12 american daily and rape 8 children daily. More of a threat than Al Qaeda and Taliban all together.

That won't really prove much though, the 9/11 hijackers drank the night before and went to strip clubs. Suicide bombers in Iraq get high on heroin before they blow themselves up.
