Report: Saudi National Ruled Out as ‘Suspect’ in Boston Marathon Bombings to Be Deported

Report: Saudi National Ruled Out as ‘Suspect’ in Boston Marathon Bombings to Be Deported on National Security Grounds Next Week
http://news.yahoo.com/report-saudi-national-ruled-suspect-boston-marathon-bombings-050427325.html

Appearing on "Hannity" Wednesday night, the Investigative Project on Terrorism's Steve Emerson reported that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was briefly named a "person of interest" in the Boston Marathon bombings, is being deported on Tuesday. He based his information on a number of his confidential sources.

"I just learned from my own sources that he is now going to be deported on national security grounds next Tuesday," Emerson said.

Host Sean Hannity referenced a report by Reuters that revealed President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House Wednesday. They reportedly discussed the conflict in Syria.

"The meeting was not on Obama's public schedule," the report adds.

and they say that he is being "deported" to keep the Saudi's from being embarrassed. A right wing "news" addict told me this.

He was a student and he was cleared. So what has it got to do with national security?

He's been ruled out, he's a victim just like 178 others...
