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.

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.”

I would imagine he is disoriented from the blast and doesn’t know what he’s laying on.

“And how many more just like him are still wandering amongst us? “

Thanks to the Department of State, Mid-easterners have been saturating this country for several years. There is now a mosque in every city of any significance - and each is a possible center for anti-Americanism.

I posted this a few days ago; sums up what’s going on:

The Arabs don’t want to hear in the public world media that they are responsible for terrorist attacks all over the globe, and particularly don’t want to hear it from Obama, whom they own starting years ago when they supported him through college, and to the present day when they basically contributed greatly to getting him hired as Prez by illegally funnelling money from rich Arabs overseas via Obama’s election website, where money was being laundered from many illegal overseas sources left and right. They know this, he knows this, they own him. They could out him at any time. So he must kowtow to them, which isn’t hard for Obama to do as psychologically he is one of them anyhow.

Saudi Students are basically considered... Canadian.....

Yeah--they're practically identical. Except that Canadians like to play ice hockey, drink Molson, and smoke Camels. Saudis like to blow up buildings, kill people, and screw camels.

Question is what can we do about it?

I hope this kid fingers the Saudi national as the ring leader, I am sure there are many who wish this kid had been successful in his suicide attempt inside that boat.

“With burns on his hands and looking so suspicious that the general public tackled and held him.”

I would love to hear what happened from the guys who tackled him! Who are they? Where are they? What did he do to cause them to tackle him? Who specifically did they turn him over to? Were they questioned by LE? Are they being held with the Benghazi survivors? Let’s hope the Daily Mail can get us some answers, because the State Run Media will not.

Mosque building in the U.S has gone up 700% since oboma took office. Publically funded as "community centers."
