Surveillance image of Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari.

Quote:

The 20-year-old Saudi Arabian man living in Lubbock, Texas was intent on waging jihad against Americans—possibly even a former U.S. president—and he was one ingredient away from being able to build a powerful bomb.

Quote:

But Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari’s deadly plans began to unravel when a shipping company’s suspicions were raised—illustrating once again how the FBI relies on private industry and the general public in the fight against terror.

Oh, I don't know, lots of showers with clumsy 'soap-droppers'.

If the shipping company contacted the manufacturer and they said don't deliver it - why did they send it in the first place?

Often in these kinds of cases, so the goods are sent to various parties, and then becomes more difficult to track.

Best guess I have is that they were not aware that it was residential address - make it look like something related to university for example. It wasn't local company after all and I don't think they have time (or interest) to check every address from Google StreeView.
