Researching Al-Harbi’s web of friends, meanwhile, yields some other very interesting discoveries:Al-Harbi has a current friendship on Facebook with a man named Ibrahim al-Ghamidi. We researched the name Ibrahim Al-Ghamidi from the Arabic...

Photos of a visit Michelle Obama is alleged to have had with Abdul Rahman Alharbi — the Saudi national previously considered to be “person of interest,” “armed and dangerous,” and worthy of inclusion on a watch list — may have appeared on a Facebook page associated with an English language school in Boston or students who share a common bond of going to English schools in the area. The above photo montage, which was posted at FreeRepublic today, originally appears on the Facebook page for “EC Boston Saudi’s.” EC Boston most likely refers to the EC Boston English Language School....

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, the investigation into its perpetrators has been marred by a series of bizarre and even alarming actions by President Obama and his administration. Unfortunately, these increasingly suggest a pattern that is at odds with our national and homeland security. The question must be occurring to many Americans: Whose side is he on? Consider just a few of the recent examples suggesting the ominous answer is “not ours”: Team Obama decided precipitously to charge the surviving alleged bomber, Dzhokhar... --snip-- Still more bizarre is what happened next: The Saudi press reported that first...

Since early last week, listeners across the country have been hearing Glenn Beck rail against the Obama Administration for its handling of the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing. Beck has been especially focused on the quick changes in the status and the subsequent, and very expedited, deportation of a Saudi suspect, Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi. Al-Harbi was the prime suspect on the day of the bombing and was previously on an FBI terror watch-list. He had open event files, including a 212-3B terrorist suspect designation before the bombing. In spite of this designation, Al-Harbi was quickly declared a witness...

Megyn Kelly reported Friday that the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks had to be detonated via a ‘line of sight’ trigger mechanism. According to federal officials this could mean there was a 3rd bomber or accomplice who may have been involved in the attacks. The range of remote control parts is within at least 250 yards or less. The remote control parts are also NOT a part of Al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine instructions. Federal investigators now believe a third terrorist could have been involved in the attacks. Via America Live: (VIDEO-AT-LINK) It’s just too bad Barack Obama already...

I haven't seen many people mention this guy's facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/abdulrahman.a.alsulaimi There are posts on it about how he was injured in the attack. Also one of his professors tagged him in a long note about the attack. She believes he's being unjustly targeted. Teachers Blog about Ali Alharbi Among the nuggets of info are: Dude is interested in men and women. Looks like he was at Disney World in January. More posts..... what's this about???? He posted some pretty weird looking stuff. Any translators out there?

Did the 20-year-old Saudi national questioned in the Boston Marathon bombing probe visit the White House? As reported by The Right Scoop blog, the White House visitor log available online shows that an Abdulrahman A. Alharbi visited Dec. 8, 2009. The visit was listed as a group tour, however, and at that time, the Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi who was questioned by authorities for two hours after the April 15 bombings was 16 years old. There are two entries on Oct. 14, 2011, for an Abdulrahman Alharbi with a different middle initial, S. The entries are also associated...

(SNIP) So, I open up my email and what do I find? A picture of Lady M from “anonymous.” I have determined, however, that it was actually sent by that naughty, naughty Gerard. How he managed to  slip through the Big White super-secret firewalls and filters intended to screen out riff-raff like him I’ll never know, butt I intend to have Raj look into it as soon as I get back. Anyway, up until now Lady M’s visit to the little Saudi “prince of darkness” while she and Big Guy were making hospital rounds to visit victims of the Boston...

HOLY CRAP– Saudi student Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi was injured in the Boston Marathon Bombings. He was once a “person of interest” in the bombings. He was put on a terror watch list after the bombings. Michelle Obama visited al-Harbi in the hospital last week. He posted pictures on his Facebook page: Then there’s this… Abdul Rahman Al-Harbi has visited the White House several times since 2009.

Beck is methodically detailing how Janet Napolitano and the media are complicit in lying about or otherwise ignoring damning evidence against the Saudi "student" who was a suspect and then a person of interest and then a victim of the Boston Marathon Bombing

Al-Harbi's event file concluded he was "armed and dangerous" He was such a high VIP in Saudi Arabia he was not vetted. Glenn is dropping bombs.

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, while testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee today, actually conceded that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi, the Saudi national who moved from ‘suspect’ to ‘person of interest’ to ‘witness’ to ‘victim’ all in less than 24 hours after the Boston bombings, was indeed placed on a terrorist watchlist. This is in stark contrast to what she told the Rep. Jeff Duncan at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing last week. Providing further intrigue is that one day before Napolitano conceded Al-Harbi’s watchlist status, talk show host Glenn Beck explained how difficult it was for someone...

All week, TheBlaze has been following up on the Saudi national who was initially investigated for several hours before being downgraded to merely a witness and ultimately released. Where is he now? What did authorities find in his apartment? These are just some of the questions remaining as the case continues to unfold. And earlier today, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano revealed that Abdul Rahman Al-Harbi was placed on a watch list. TheBlaze reported: But today, speaking at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration reform, Napolitano responded to a question by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA). “Before the...

“While the media continues to look at what the causes were of these two guys, there are, at this hour, three people involved in the bombings in Boston,” he said. “The first one is the one we are going to address.” – Glenn Beck

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...

HAMZA IS KNOWN AS THE “CROWN PRINCE OF TERROR,” AND VOWED REVENGE VS. USA. HAMZA IS KNOWN TO BE “THE SPITTING IMAGE OF HIS FATHER, OSAMA BIN LADEN.” “SAUDI STUDENT” WAS TACKLED FLEEING BOSTON MARATHON, THEN HOSPITALIZED WITH “SEVERE HAND BURNS AND SHRAPNEL IN BACKSIDE OF LEG.” Hamza is the son of Khairiah Sabar of Saudi Arabia, one of Bin Laden’s three wives who were living in the Abbottabad compound.[11] Interrogation of the surviving wives of Osama Bin Laden by Pakistani intelligence after the raid on the Abbottabad revealed Hamza was the only person missing. He was not among those...

Time to put up, Glenn. From Friday

Although the MSM has dropped the story, several conservative news outlets continue to report news about the Saudi national who was briefly considered a "person of interest" and was later cleared after the Boston bombing, last week. Here, at Breitbart, Elizabeth Sheld reported that the night before DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano had vehemently denied the existence of any deportation order, the Saudi, identified as Abdulrahman Ali Al-Harbi, had indeed had his records altered, rescinding his deportation order. At a bare minimum, even if the Saudi national is only be guilty of being at the wrong place at the wrong time,...

This morning Todd Starnes had a report on the Saudi National that Beck referenced during his show. Within the hour that report was pulled. I think we all have an idea of why it was pulled. Drudge has re-linked the story to Starnes Townhall.com piece. I know Fox hosts and personalities read FR, so it's helpful to put this out there. Plus.. I know of other threads where Freepers have posted Fox contact information and numbers. Fox is like our Firewall. If we can get them to cover it then it'll force others to begin to as well!

On April 19th, Glenn Beck accused the United States government of conducting a widespread coverup regarding Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, a Saudi national who was injured during the Boston Marathon bombing, and promised that, on Monday, he would reveal information he had allegedly obtained that revealed Alharbi "was a very bad, bad, bad man," which he threatened to reveal on Monday unless the government came clean first. Beck has since made good on his promise and claimed that the NTC issued an event file calling for Alharbi's deportation using section 212, 3B which is proven terrorist activity. "We are not...

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...

After the FBI rescheduled another postponed briefing on the Boston Marathon Massacre for 8 p.m. on Wednesday night -- and then canceled that one, too -- that was it. I was going to give the news circus a rest until morning. Came the dawn I heard that terrorism expert Steven Emerson had dropped a bombshell Wednesday night on Sean Hannity's Fox News program. Emerson reported that Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national first identified as a "person of interest" and then downgraded, like a tropical storm, to "witness," would be deported from the United States "on national security grounds." This,...

"Jeddah newspaper says first lady saw Alharbi in hospital"A Saudi Arabian newspaper is reporting that United States First Lady Michelle Obama visited in the hospital Saudi citizen Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Alharbi, the young man who had been labeled a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing. The newspaper accompanied its report with an image of Obama, although the background was generic and it couldn’t be confirmed immediately that she was at the hospital where Alharbi was being treated at the time. He reportedly suffered injuries in the Boston bombing. The newspaper’s Arabic-language report is being highlighted by...

Congressional source confirm:Saudi student connected to Boston Marathon bombingset to be deported under “security related grounds” Update 5 9:40pm ET: Exclusive: Congressional Source Contradicts ICE Account, Says Lawmakers in Possession of File on Saudi National That Called for Visa Revocation. From TheBlaze: Documents have been presented to Congress confirming that plans were made to revoke the visa of Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, a Saudi national once considered a “person of interest” in the Boston bombings, a congressional source told TheBlaze on Thursday. [...] The congressional source, however, said the information sent to Congress showed that a file was created on...

Okaz, the same prominent Saudi newspaper, that published photos of Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi in the hospital after the Boston marathon bombings, is now reporting that the Saudi national was also visited by the first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama during his hospital stay. ... In light of recent reports that Alharbi was scheduled for deportation on ‘national security grounds’, the first lady’s visit takes on much added significance if those reports are true. We already know that the Alharbi clan consists of multiple Al-Qaeda members. This would seem to bolster the claims of scheduled deportation,...

On his radio program today, Glenn Beck stated that the original "person of interest" had an outstanding deportation order for suspected terrorist activity. A reporter for The Blaze uncovered this information and will report on his radio program and web site later this morning.

A visibly irritated Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer a Republican congressman’s questions about the possible deportation of the Saudi national questioned as a witness in the Boston Marathon bombings.

Yesterday, we posted a photo of Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi, a Saudi national who was a ‘person of interest’ in the Boston marathon bombings. In that photo, Al-Harbi doesn’t appear to be the least bit concerned about his fate. Now we have another photo (h/t Diana West) of Alharbi at the hospital, smiling while standing next to what appears to be a Saudi diplomat...

Tonight on Hannity, Steve Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, reported that his sources are telling him that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was a person of interest for less than 24 hours, is being deported to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. Why? According to Emerson, based on National Security grounds. Reuters is reporting that Obama met today with the Saudi Foreign Minister in an unscheduled meeting: U.S. President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House on Wednesday and discussed the conflict in Syria, a spokeswoman said. The meeting was...

Steve Emerson just broke the shocking news that the Saudi National, Abdul al-Harbi, first questioned in the Boston bombing, is going to be deported on "national security grounds." He is from a very powerful Saudi family with many terrorist ties. Abdul al-Harbi is a devout Muslim from Medina. I said it takes longer than 15 hours to investigate all of Abdul al-Harbi's relatives, friends, acquaintances, and business and school friends. Perhaps a quick look at the Arabic sources should raise the eyebrows of every American relative to the extent of the problem at hand. Many from Al-Harbi’s clan are steeped...

On Tuesday, the day following the Boston Marathon bombing, Boston officials detained Saudi national Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi a 20 year-old exchange student. He is believed to have entered the country on a student visa. Late yesterday Abdulrahman was cleared by federal officials in the Boston bombing. Tonight Steven Emerson told Sean Hannity that the non-suspect Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi is being deported back to the Saudi Kingdom.

Al Qaeda flag As most of you are likely aware, the jerry-rigged pressure-cooker bombs deployed at the Boston Marathon terrorist attack emit the stench of Al Qaeda. You probably also know that in the wake of the attack,  a Saudi by the name of 'Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi' was hospitalized and became a ‘suspect’, only to be promptly downgraded to a mere ‘person of interest’ (pressure from Beantown's Dem mayor/senator/governor/US president?).  The 20-y.o. student has been searched by the FBI and Boston Police, yet no confirmation has been given so far to his involvement.  Yet the lib MSM media -along with trolls on...

A couple of weeks ago we warned America about the very serious problem of Saudi infiltration; many of these Saudi nationals criminals and terrorists. After the bombings, a Saudi by the name of Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi was hospitalized and became a ‘suspect’, then a ‘person of interest’. His apartment was searched by federal and local authorities. No confirmation has been given so far to his involvement. The Media were quick to claim his innocence, of course. This brings us to the Boston marathon bombings. Foreign Policy is reporting that he’s ‘no longer a person of interest’, which means he’s...

He didn’t do it. The Saudi national questioned in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon terror blasts that killed three is considered a witness rather than a suspect, sources told the Daily News on Tuesday. RELATED: BOSTON MARATHON BOMB DEVICES WERE PRESSURE COOKERS FILLED WITH NAILS, BALL BEARINGS: REPORT Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi, 22, remained hospitalized in Boston as investigators searched every inch of his Revere, Mass., apartment and grilled his roommate. But it turns out the student was apparently in the wrong place at the wrong time when two bombs exploded Monday afternoon near the finish line of the event...

My Fox Boston identified the Saudi ‘person of interest’ as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi. Al Arabiya’s Arabic site has posted photos of this individual, one in Saudi garb and the other in Western garb on what resembles a college campus. Note: While this is the individual in the hospital, there is no evidence yet that he is connected to the bombing. Stay tuned…

SNIPPET: "New York City is the center of a public uproar as Internet blogger Pamela Gellar rises with an “anti-jihad” ad campaign." SNIPPET: "Gellar and her group are protesting the Jihad, which in definition is the religious duty of Muslims. According to the Dictionary of Islam, jihad is defined as “A religious war with those who are unbelievers in the mission of Muhammad . . . enjoined especially for the purpose of advancing Islam and repelling evil from Muslims.” The literal meaning of jihad, according to the British Broadcasting Network, “is struggle or effort, and it means much more than...

In light of recent events I will post here my archive:" SNIPPET: "Implementation: On Christmas Day, 2009, Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab boards a flight in Amsterdam, bound for Detroit, and on final descent he attempts to set off what was most likely a binary explosive. Thank goodness he either screwed up or had bad instructions, because the chemicals he was working with were evidently quite good."

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - Plans to close Guantanamo are not sitting well with the Sept. 11 victims' relatives who sat stunned while two alleged terrorists declared they were proud of their role in the plot.

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran said Wednesday it treated a confidant of Osama bin Laden simply as an illegal immigrant, handing him over to his native Saudi Arabia after he accepted an amnesty offer. Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-Harby was flown to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, along with his wife and son. "Saudi national al-Harby ... had illegally entered Iranian territory through the border of a neighboring country and had requested that he be handed over to his own country," the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi as saying. Iranian officials have insisted they...

A suspected al-Qaida militant from Saudi Arabia has flown back to his homeland from the Iranian-Afghan border region to surrender under a government amnesty, state television said today. Khaled al-Harbi, also known as Abu Suleiman al-Makki, gave himself up at the Saudi embassy in Tehran, according to the report. Television pictures showed a wheelchair-bound Mr Harbi being carried off a plane on arrival in the kingdom. "Thank God, Thank God ... I called the embassy and we were very well received," al-Harbi told reporters in the airport terminal. "I have come obeying God, and obeying the (kingdom's) rulers." Al-Harbi described...

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - A confidant of Osama bin Laden surrendered to Saudi diplomats in Iran and was flown to the kingdom Tuesday, a potentially valuable asset in the war on terror because of his closeness to the fugitive al-Qaida chief.

The Saudi citizen pictured conversing with Osama bin Laden about the September 11 terrorist attacks in a videotape released last week is a former Mujahedeen and war compatriot of bin Laden, not the man initially identified by U.S. officials, senior Saudi officials told CNN on Sunday. Saudi officials said the man on the tape is Khaled al-Harbi, who fought with bin Laden against the Russians in Afghanistan about 20 years ago. On Friday, one day after the Pentagon released the videotape, U.S. officials said the man visiting bin Laden was Ali Sayeed al-Ghamdy, a former Islamic theology professor once imprisoned...

Jul 13, 12:45 PM (ET) By Sami Aboudi RIYADH (Reuters) - A suspected Saudi al Qaeda militant, who had appeared in a videotape with Osama bin Laden, was flown back to the kingdom from Iran after he surrendered under a government amnesty, state television said on Tuesday. It said Khaled al-Harbi, also known as Abu Suleiman al-Makki, had been on the Iranian-Afghan border and had contacted Saudi Arabia's embassy in Tehran in response to the amnesty. Television showed a wheelchair-bound and bearded Harbi being carried off a plane on arrival in the kingdom with his family. It did not say...

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Officials have identified the two bombers in a suicide attack that killed 17 people at a Riyadh housing compound, the official Saudi Press Agency reported Monday. The agency, quoting an unnamed Interior Ministry official, said DNA tests confirmed that Ali bin Hamid Elmabady Alharbi and Nasser bin Abdullah bin Nasser Alsiary attacked the housing complex of mostly Arab and Muslim residents, injuring 120 people. The agency said the two men, both of them Saudis, had been wanted by Saudi authorities in other security-related cases. It did not elaborate. The official was also quoted as saying that...
