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."

Everyone who becomes a suspect starts out as a person of interest these days.

every hour that passes, the perpatrator(s) put 60-600 miles between themselves and justice.

Very good point! I'm going to tweet that!

There has been a LOT of false info: rental truck trying to get near the crowd, that this was related to tax day, that there were 5 undetonated bombs found, that 30 people were killed, that someone was shooting allah allah before the explosion, etc etc etc. People just make stuff up for whatever reason.

The chances of the perpetrators slipping out of the country increase with each passing day.

Hey everybody, remember when flight TWA 800 got split in half by a missile, then GAINED 2,000 feet of altitude, then started to descend and crashed?

I mean.... remember when the “center fuel tank exploded” for no reason, then the airplane “climbed 2,000 feet, then started to descend” and crashed?

That didn’t involve Moslems with MANPADS, and this Boston Marathon bombing didn’t involve Moslems with IED’s.

Now go watch the Kardashians while we choose which Whitey to pin this on.

Eric Holder, please proceed to the Black and Red courtesy phone.

EVERYTHING the buffoons in the “media” were telling us yesterday needs to be flushed. What a joke. There is such a thing as TOO MUCH “news”.

Bath House Barry Benghazi’s handler is Valerie Jarrett. His puppet masters are Soros and the Saudis.

Makes sense. He is not doing this on his own.

person of interest = interesting person.

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.

At 20 years old, that may or may not be him. There are a lot of people of the same name on facebook. One of them has an auto repair shop.

"Prominent family" can mean different things. Could be princes. Could be successful car dealers. And families can be pretty big over there.

This guy has Wentworth Tech on his facebook page, not Harvard or MIT, so I suspect his branch of the family's not ultra-rich or ultra-powerful.

His Heinous and the MarxoFascists need their Reichstag Fire.

So they will shape this to suit their ends, the media has already greased the skids for them to place blame on the *appropriate* groups to be held responsible.

Such is the history of Marxists and what they do when they achieve power.

Does anyone have ANY confidence in the FBI? How’s Benghazi investigation working out?

The fact no one has claimed responsibility i’m calling this is a lone nut.

He’ll probably bomb somewhere else soon :/

Start looking at sales records for pressure cookers..were they the same brand and size..who sold them? They aren’t that popular in the US now, but are available from Amazon etc.

Fox showed pictures earlier of the pressure cookers from the bomb blast. You could read the serial numbers.

The serial number were intact? Wouldn’t the cooker have been cooked too?

So are we back to the right wing extremist?

The longer that DHS & the FBI (now totally under 0dumb0 iron fist of corruption) AND 0dumb0 can stonewall & throw out one red herring after another, the easier it will be to cover the muzzzlim terrorists tracks and shift blame over onto conservatives, Christians, patriots & gun owners.
