BECK BREAKS EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION ON SAUDI NATIONAL ONCE CONSIDERED A PERSON OF INTEREST IN BOSTON BOMBINGS
Background points:
- A Saudi national originally identified as a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” after the bombing
- As the story gained traction, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi
- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.
- An ICE official said a separate Saudi national is in custody, but is “in no way” connected to the bombings.
- A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi was created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (although it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.
- Committee on Homeland Security requests a classified briefing with Napolitano
- TheBlaze sources and Fox News’ Todd Starnes report that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list
- New information provided to TheBlaze reveals Alharbi’s file was altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial charges
- Sources say the Saudi’s student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findley, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts
- Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed.
While much of this is already known, it’s starting to smell like a boatload of rotting sardines.

And people wonder why I don't trust the Government.
That's why you come here, we understand.
It explains the unannounced visit to president quagmire by the Saudi Foriegn Minister, does it not. What better way to make it all go away. Give it to DoJ and Holder and into the abyss of legal wrangling.
and of course, significant amounts of money were exchanged during the visit.
All donations to Obama for America?
The only thing that interests me is the association with Saudi Arabia that seems to exempt Arabs in this level. If there is an association with SA that causes Arabs to be exempt and protected by the US government we SHOULD know. The American people have to decide if it is worth it to keep this association or not if it means that our security is at risk. Other than that this exclusive isn't that big of a deal. All in all I realized the moment I heard that he was going to be deported that the US is getting something or owes something to the Saudis and explained his deportation. I was hoping that this exclusive would tell me what and indeed it didn't. Beck overplayed his hand on this one.

Glenn is being a bit over the top with these claims. Interesting news, yes. Alex Jones blaming Navy SEALS in khaki pants, calling it a false flag, is bad.
I think Jones knows as well as you and I that SEALS are far too patriotic to carry out something like this - now a FEMA-certified character actor, that's an entirely different story...and it wouldnt surprise me if they meant to look like SEALS on purpose.
It's important information, but I don't see why it had to wait over the weekend and I don't see how it warranted the threat he issued against the government Friday. It's pretty much what we already knew with a few more details.
C'mon, Glenn... get to the part where you have information that will bring down the Obama administration.
You beat me by two minutes.
I was listening to Beck this morning, this person has a student visa that says he is supposed to be in school ONLY in Finley Ohio, and there is nobody with that name in Finley, and he does have a residence in Mass.
