Saudi national no longer ‘person of interest’ in Boston bombings, no other suspects
FP via Drudge ^ | 4/16/13 | Josh Rogin

The Saudi national injured during the bomb attacks at the Boston Marathon Monday has been cleared and is no longer even a person of interest, intelligence officials told lawmakers Tuesday.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper briefed members of the Senate Intelligence Committee behind closed doors in a pre-scheduled hearing that was supposed to focus on the budget, but Clapper began with an update of the bombings. Ranking Republican Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) emerged from the briefing and said he was told the 22-year old Saudi student who was injured during the bombings and remains in the care of a local hospital was no longer a focus of investigators.

"He was never categorized as a suspect; he was a person of interest. My understanding is that he totally cooperated and that he is no longer a person of interest," Chambliss said.

Asked if there were any other persons of interest at this time, Chambliss said, "Not that I know of."

“He was never categorized as a suspect; he was a person of interest”

Uneducated for a legislator to say. There is no difference whatsoever. “person of Interest” is a term used by weasely politicians, PIOs, and housewives who watch CSI. It has no legal meaning.

Kerry met with representative from Saudi Arabia and suddenly the guy is innocent.

Bingo! We can't allow the royal house of saud to obtain a black eye or endure any bad publicity. That cannot be permitted to happen.

The Saudi “HAS SEVERE BURNS ON HIS HANDS.”

Did he burn his hands making popcorn?

This is ridiculous.

I googled his name, and found that he’s certified in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) as “MECHANIC, AIRFRAME.”

In other words, this supposedly well-connected kid who’s floating around the world studying abroad oddly got (blue-collar) training to work on the mechanicals of AIRCRAFT.

But I know this Saudi is innocent, b/c the filthy lying communist moslem traitor jihadi in the Oval Office told me so.

“Since they the gov say they don’t know who did it you know it’s Muslims.”

Excellent point.

If it was anybody OTHER than moslems (or Bill Ayers), Obamatollah would hold 7 press conferences every day demanding “All whites must surrender.”

At least a ‘normal event’, you hear officials say “they have lots of leads or leads are still coming in”, and “that they need to follow up”.

Public would have been ‘soothed’ to a certain extent.

But no, not in this case.

That skull and bones dude is serious new world order minion, bigtime.

I don’t think he needs to talk to Obama at all to get through to the bosses.

I just don’t think Obama is very high up on the ladder of nwo, he just seems like a stooge.

Kerry’s father, foreign service, yale, harvard; mother, forbes.

State/CIA are filled with NWO at the top (for the last 100 years - at least).

One foreign terrorism expert I read, speculated that if credit claimed right away, it’s foreign jihadists, otherwise domestic terrorists. Is that how it’s worked in the past?

Honestly, I don’t care if we are not hearing timely or accurate information from the authorities while letting those responsible for the attack know what they know. So what if they out and out lie about what they know and don’t know as long as a reasonable case comes together in the end.
