Congressional Source: Lawmakers in Possession of File on Saudi That Called for Visa Revocation
The Blaze ^ | 4/18/13

Posted on 04/18/2013 7:15:48 PM PDT by roses of sharon

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.

Other sources, including one at the FBI, previously informed TheBlaze that there have been discussions about deporting Alharbi on “security and related grounds.” He has been living in the Boston area and in the U.S. on a student visa. An FBI source said the agency is against deporting Alharbi because of his status as a material witness.

The congressional source told TheBlaze it was unclear as to why representatives from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would be unaware of this information. Earlier on Thursday, an official with ICE said it was “categorically false” that Alharbi had ever been considered for deportation.

The congressional source, however, said the information sent to Congress showed that a file was created on “Abdul Rahman Ali Al Harby” at 4 p.m. on Tuesday by an official with the National Targeting Center, a counterterrorism sub-agency of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security. The file stated that the individual is “linked to the Boston bombing” and was to be processed for revocation of his visa based on national security grounds, the congressional source revealed.

” - - - he lives in a building with many Saudis - - - “

Does he or one of the “many Saudis” have a left ear with the top bent down?

Compare to POS # 2 picture from FBI.

What school does he attend? What degree is he seeking?

LOL    you don't need all that nonsense to be a "student" and Boston is overflowing with foreign students. Real ones, ones that graduated, and hangers on that have decided to plop themselves down and live there legally or illegally
