Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari is a Saudi Arabian national convicted in 2012 of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction by a US federal court. The conviction was made in connection to Aldawsari's attempts to purchase chemicals for a class project that were thought to be for bomb making and researching potential targets, including the homes of former US President George W. Bush and soldiers who had been stationed in Abu Ghraib as well as hydroelectric dams and Dallas nightclubs. While living in Lubbock, Texas, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Aldawsari's defense lawyer argued that he was a "failure" who never came close to harming anyone. His register number is 42771-177.
