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 different 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 (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.
Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano
Fox News' Todd Starnes reports that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and granted a student visa without being properly vetted. Sources close to the investigation also told him the Saudi is still set for deportation.
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 Findlay, 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.
Monday morning Glenn Beck laid out what he knows about the Saudi connection to the Boston marathon bombings. It is a story that the mainstream media has all but completely ignored, though Beck says TheBlaze's Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood reached out to numerous other networks in an effort to get the story out. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to acknowledge the story even existed when questioned by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) last Friday.

I personally can't wait to see Beck's "evidence". How wants to bet it turns out like Trump's birth certificate reveal, and Beck just bets Obama something to release, what he sees as the truth?

(46,416 posts)will probably be sent home to SA--if even true, being that Beck is a looneytunes. Although since 9/11 I have been suspicious of our "special buddy" dealings with Saudi Arabia and the extent to which they seem to be repeatedly involved in terror and extremism.

(19,768 posts)Bush flew Saudi Arabians out of the country after 9*11 while all commercial flights were grounded.
This guy is subdued by people there, called a person of interest, and then, according to a lot of reports, scheduled to be sent back to SA under some security threat reasoning.
How can we not want to know the full story?

(19,768 posts)I remember that being hailed here on DU as a complete and exhaustive report that definitively answered all questions about all the events surrounding 9*11.
Well, actually, it wasn't - it was pretty well savaged here as being a whitewash.
But no matter.
We should forget about the Saudi in Boston that was detained at the site by people there, that was interrogated in the hospital, called a "person of interest," and evidently scheduled to be returned to SA on grounds he is in some manner a security threat.
Clearly, we all should just believe what we are told without hesitation.
Good citizens don't ask questions, I guess.

(26,355 posts)All I've seen came from Glenn Beck's The Blaze, Breitbart or FAUX News.
Show me a credible source, or it didn't happen.

(26,582 posts)I know it's unheard of that the President and/or First Lady visit people in hospitals.
BOSTON (CBS) - President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama visited victims of the Boston Marathon bombings at several hospitals Thursday afternoon.
After attending an interfaith service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, the president rode to Massachusetts General Hospital where he met privately with patients, their families and hospital staff.
The First Lady went to Boston Childrens Hospital, where she visited the medical and surgical intensive care unit.
Afterwards, she went next door to Brigham and Womens Hospital to meet more victims and their families for more than an hour.

(6,012 posts)Why havent we had an official response to the rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990? (source)
Some say he ate her remains in a drug-filled pagan ceremony. Some say. (source)
R is for radical A is for astronaut P is for paper S is for super-douche T well, I dont have that yet, but if I did, this would spell rapist (source)
Fox News Poll: Should Glenn Beck deny rape allegations? Vote Now! (source)
Omg I cant find a single entry/item/article ANYWHERE that says Mr. Beck is not a rapist. (source)
He has exposed himself as a guy over and over again who has a deep seeded [sic] hatred for consensual sex or the No Means No culture, I dont know what it is. Im not saying he doesnt like consensual sex, Im saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe a rapist. (source)
