One year later: Texas terrorism trial near
A year has gone by since a failed Texas Tech chemistry student from Saudi Arabia was arrested on suspicion of planning attacks against the United States.Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 21, is accused of gathering information on possible U.S. targets, such as the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush. Federal agents arrested Aldawsari on Feb. 23, 2011, on a charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, starting a lengthy legal battle scheduled to go before a jury in April. His lawyers intend to use an insanity defense at trial, but a federal judge has ruled Aldawsari is presently mentally competent.
