Khalid Aldawsari, a 20-year-old college student near Lubbock, Texas,  allegedly targeted the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush.

A Saudi Arabian citizen suspected of planning a terrorist attack using explosive chemicals has been arrested by the FBI.

Khalid Aldawsari, a 20-year-old college student near Lubbock, Texas,  allegedly targeted the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush.  He was arrested late Tuesday on a federal charge of attempted use of a  weapon of mass destruction.

“Yesterday’s arrest demonstrates the need for and the importance of  vigilance and the willingness of private individuals and companies to  ask questions and contact the authorities when confronted with  suspicious activities,” said James T. Jacks, U.S. Attorney for the  Northern District of Texas.

Federal prosecutors say Aldawsari had been researching online how to  construct an improvised explosive device using several chemicals as  ingredients. 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 State to carry out jihad.

“As alleged in the complaint, Aldawsari purchased ingredients to  construct an explosive device and was actively researching potential  targets in the United States. Thanks to the efforts of many agents,  analysts and prosecutors, this plot was thwarted before it could advance  further,” said Assistant Attorney General Kris. “This case serves as  another reminder of the need for continued vigilance both at home and  abroad.”

Aldawsari is expected to appear in federal court in Lubbock on Friday  morning. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000  fine if convicted of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
