Lubbock, TX, United States (AHN) – FBI agents arrested Wednesday a Saudi student in Texas for allegedly plotting terror attacks in the United States, including on the Dallas home of former president George W. Bush in the name of jihad.

Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 20, had been planning the attacks while enrolled at South Plains College near Lubbock, according to the FBI. Agents said they found in his possession chemicals used for making explosives and a list of targets. He also had a blog indicating his plan to wage jihad against Americans.

The chemicals in Aldawsari’s possession included concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids he bought in December. He had also bought a gas mask, a Hazmat suit, and other items the FBI believes were to be used in carrying out his terroristic plan.

A chemical vendor tipped off the FBI to Aldawsari on Feb. 1 when he tried to buy phenol concentrate, which can be used to make explosives.

Aldawsari was granted a foreign student visa in 2008 and initially enrolled at Texas Tech University. He is facing life imprisonment if convicted.
