WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Authorities have arrested a 20-year-old Saudi national on charges he tried to use a weapon of mass destruction and potentially targeted former President George W. Bush, the Justice Department said on Thursday.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, who was admitted into the United States in 2008 on a student visa, was arrested in Texas on Wednesday by FBI agents. He was accused of purchasing chemicals and equipment to make an improvised explosive device, the Justice Department said.
