The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent a written warning about accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2012, long before pressure-cooker blasts killed three and maimed hundreds, according to a senior Saudi government official with direct knowledge of the document. The Saudi warning, the official told MailOnline, was separate from the multiple red flags raised by Russian intelligence in 2011, and was based on human intelligence developed independently in Yemen. Citing security concerns, the Saudi government also denied an entry visa to the elder Tsarnaev brother in December 2011, when he hoped to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. Tsarnaev's plans to visit Saudi Arabia have not been previously disclosed.
Was it preventable? A senior Saudi official says his country warned the U.S. about Tamerlane Tsarnaev in 2012, advising the federal government that he planned an attack on a major U.S. city
Did she know? Janet Napolitano (R) sits atop the Department of Homeland Security, the agency that allegedly received a detailed letter from the Saudi kingdom about Tsarnaev (L) and three Pakistani jihadis The Saudis' warning to the U.S. government was also shared with the British government. 'It was very specific’ and warned that 'something was going to happen in a major U.S. city,' the Saudi official said during an extensive interview. It 'did name Tamerlan specifically,' he added. The 'government-to-government' letter, which he said was sent to the Department of Homeland Security at the highest level, did not name Boston or suggest a date for his planned attack.

Boston Bombing ping!!
The Daily Mail article!
Butchie Napolitano needs to resign for not doing her job. She was too busy chasing the TEA Party while the Islamoterrorists were scheming to kill MORE Americans.
It’s because we need immigration reform to find out who’s here..../sarc
I hope people start to realize what a usurper we have in our WH.
Obama had been warned by Russia- twice and Saudi Arabia- once.
Obama let the bombers act - on purpose.
Now he is protecting the Boston bomber while threatening the Benghazi Victims.
Obama must be arrested, taken to GITMO for aggressive interrogation to learn who his cell handlers are.
Me too!
Bullet points:
Saudis developed intelligence separately from Russia, which also warned the U.S. about the accused Boston bomber
A letter to the Department of Homeland Security named Tsarnaev and three Pakistanis as potential jihadis worthy of U.S. investigation
Red flags from Saudi Arabia included Tsarnaev’s name and information about a planned explosive attack on a major U.S. city
Saudi foreign minister, national security chief both met with Obama in the oval office in early 2013
And the only way to solve the problem is to pass sweeping gun control legislation.
Did they let it happen in hopes of getting radical guns laws passed in it’s wake?
How in the hell did the FBI not know, they met on apr 16, because they didn’t they share this with FBI. What did the president know and when did he know it.
In the wake of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal met with Secretary of State John Kerry on April 16, and then had an unscheduled meeting with President Obama on April 17.
‘This is the DNA of the Saudi government,’ said the Saudi official, referring to officials in the royal court in Riyadh. ‘This is how they work. They sent the letter, but that wasn’t enough. They then sent their top guy to meet personally with the president.’
Even this article makes Tamarlan the bad guy (The dead one).
No need to focus on poor misguided Johkar. /s
Going down on “Berber” carpet?
How many times must this be posted before the American public understands they’ve been gang banged and lied to by corrupt government?
Lets just open our immigration and borders to anyone who wants to kill, crap on, and gang rape our system...
Spit*
The crap with this administration is just endless!!!
In a sane world, this would lead to a massive collapse in confidence in this administration. Instead, I bet it doesn’t even cause a blip.
Big Sis did not tell them?
From article:
“A Homeland Security official confirmed Tuesday evening on the condition of anonymity that the 2012 letter exists, saying he had heard of the Saudi communication before MailOnline inquired about it.
While U.S. intelligence agencies are exploring the possibility that Tsarnaev learned to make pressure-cooker bombs while visiting Dagestan in 2012, Saudi Arabia was his first choice for a travel destination until the kingdom turned down his visa request
As many as 4 million Muslims make pilgrimages annually to the Grand mosque in the city of Mecca. Tsarnaev sought to join them for an ‘Umrah’ journey, a trip that happens outside of the month reserved for the annual Hajj
A DHS official denied, however, that Homeland Security received any such warning from Saudi intelligence about Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
‘DHS has no knowledge of any communication from the Saudi government regarding information on the suspects in the Boston Marathon Bombing prior to the attack,’ MailOnline learned from one Homeland Security official who declined to be named in this report.
The White House took a similar view. ‘We and other relevant U.S. government agencies have no record of such a letter being received,’ said Caitlin Hayden, a spokesperson for the president’s National Security Council.”
Lol
Perhaps more reason for a member of Prince al Waleed bin Talal’s security detail to be suited up with Craft at the Marathon. I wonder if we will eventually be told that al Harbi was a Saudi agent?
The hounds wail for the dead.
