A 22-year-old Saudi national was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Texas to life in prison in his June conviction on charges of attempting to build a weapon of mass destruction.
Jury selection is set to begin Thursday in the trial of a Saudi man accused of gathering bomb components with the intention of targeting sites across the United States, including former President George W. Bush's Dallas home.
He bemoaned the plight of Muslims and said he was influenced by Osama bin Laden's speeches.
