[Excerpt] ... "The Saudi national, identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, was set to be deported for terrorist activity under section 212, 3B [Alien who has engaged in Terrorist activities- ] after the Boston Marathon bombings, according to TheBlaze’s sources. His status was abruptly changed last week,
but government officials have thus far rarely spoken in public about the subject, let alone provided any additional information.
But Napolitano’s account today confirms a report by TheBlaze on Monday.
It details how a Department of Homeland Security official told us that Alharbi was placed on a terror watchlist after being detained.
However, Napolitano has thus far refused to comment on why Alharbi was given the Section 212, 3B terrorist designation
despite inquiries from Sen. Grassley and members of the House Homeland Security Committee.
Alharbi is currently considered innocent and in no way connected to the Boston bombings, or the two brothers identified as suspects by the FBI.
It was a rough day on the hill for Napolitano as she was also grilled by lawmakers regarding the conflicting accounts
of whether the FBI knew the older Boston bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had made a trip to Russia.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was particularly concerned about the conflicting reports coming from the FBI and DHS about the older suspect’s Russia trip.
He told Napolitano
- “They told me that they had no knowledge of him leaving or coming back
so I would like to talk to you more about this case.”
This is a breaking news story. Updates may be added.
