From Eric Dondero:

It's the Government, not the private chemical company in North Carolina that reported the Texas Tech Terrorist to the FBI, who can claim the most credit for capturing Saudi Terrorist Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari. She asserts, ICE and Financial Privacy regulations enacted by the Obama administration deserve the credit.

From CNN, "DHS says it had suspicions about terror suspect before companies' tip":

In testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials received a "suspicious activity report" concerning the student's banking activity before tips from a chemical company and shipping company came in.

ICE "notified the FBI," Napolitano said. "The FBI and ICE then pursued an investigation and of course that led ultimately to the arrest of the individual involved," Napolitano said.

This is a "good news story," Napolitano said, noting the department's efforts to routinely monitor the suspicious financial activities of foreign students.

Rep. Peter King, Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee pressed Napolitano, on the role of the private companies. She responded:

"We give credit there. We give credit to ICE."
