Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List
Fox News ^ | Monday, April 22, 2013 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 04/22/2013 7:29:52 AM PDT by kristinn

The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out as a suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.

A source close to the investigation revealed that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi had been deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa – any alien who is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry – in terrorist activity.

At least two additional sources have confirmed to me that Ali Alharbi is set to be deported as early as this week, contrary to statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

SNIP

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told me that it was a case a “Saudi being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

The official, with knowledge of the case, said Alharbi’s status has changed – but as it now stands – he will be sent back home.

“They don’t like the negative press,” the official said of the Saudis. “The guess is he will probably be allowed to leave without a lot of hype in order to avoid political sensitivities with the Saudis.”

Yep, ‘Trusted Traveler’ status agreement we now have with the Saudis.

IF you allow 11 - 20 million illegals to get amnesty, they promise to do a vbetter job of vetting them.

They seem to make a habit of that. What are the odds?

Hmmm, that’s news to me.

Did he just ‘happen’ to visit Boston, or is it established that the Saudi actually live there?

Meanwhile, Yahoo News, largest on the net and Obama apologist, headline is: “Suspects final call: Mama I love you”

“granted a student visa without being properly vetted,”
Feds effed up again. Student Visa - where was he enrolled? Wonder how many more got through the crack in the system and are waiting for orders.

Those in power in the USA prefer to call this 'the new NORMAL'.
It is NOT. THIS is an atrocity by Islamic terrorism
which the MSM and those in power will not even NAME
as they import and condone more and more of it.

Glenn Beck was just talking about Al-Harabi and said he was ‘just’ there watching the ‘Kenyan runners’ in the Marathon. It was said sarcastically, but I think it important (and he missed it) that the Kenyan runners were not at the Marathon. They were officially protesting the Marathon. Probably told by the Kenyan government not to participate in the Marathon. This naturally would make one wonder ... why ?

If you don’t know by now then it is hopeless to try and explain to you..Listen carefully to what the man has to say..The moral of the story is the government is screwing you and letting these thugs get away with killing us..Just listen..I doubt you want to bother because it is to much trouble..there will be some people that did not listen to information will ask for help one day..I HOPE YOU WON’T BE ONE OF THEM..

How about the ties to that big new mosque a couple blocks from the perps in Boston? Is anyone following how that came to be? The iman there is a major islamic radical.
