Exclusive: Saudi National Once Considered ‘Person of Interest’..............
The Blaze ^ | April 18, 2013 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 04/18/2013 9:39:30 AM PDT by yoe

Editor’s note: Please see the Editors’ UPDATES ​we will be placing in order of most-recent below. TheBlaze’s Jonathon M. Seidl contributed to this report.

Key points:

On Sean Hannity’s Fox News program Wednesday night, terror expert Steve Emerson cited sources saying Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was briefly named a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombings, is being deported on Tuesday.
Thursday morning, Glenn Beck revealed on radio that TheBlaze was informed by sources that the Saudi national’s visa had been revoked and he was, in fact, going to be deported on “security and related grounds.”
Among other things, sources told TheBlaze that the Saudi national had ties to a well-connected Saudi family and that his deportation was set to be framed as a “voluntary” departure to be with his family.
A file, called an “event,” was started on him three days ago.
While discussing the issue on radio, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood revealed that the government is now considering not deporting Ali Alharbi.

​UPDATE V (12:13 pm ET):

Sen. Rand Paul reacted to TheBlaze’s report during a radio interview with Glenn Beck by saying he will be “looking into” the report. He also added that in general the United States needs to “have more scrutiny on these students when they arrive.”

has anyone outside Hannity/NYP/WND/The Blaze confirmed the kid is being deported?

If they have, I haven't found it yet.

The Boston papers are too busy fawning over Dear Leader's presence in our city today.

As I see the confusion is on purpose...the guys already gone I bet....this is all just “afterfluff” to give the media hounds the bones they crave.

I am just trying to get outside confirmation besides the usual news sources.

Nothing has been said about this in any news site, ANYWHERE, including Fox

The source all seems to be Emerson, and right now the last paper I trust is the NYP considering all the errors it has made

We will noever see him on U.S. soil again. He’s protected meat by odumbo (per his Saudi handlers).

After doing a google news search, and typing the subject “Saudi National to be deported” - here is a list of the papers covering it:

WND
Examiner
The Inquisitr
Yahoo News
Gather
Hardhatters
The Jewish Press
Christian Post

Looks like the MainSlimeMedia just aren’t interested.......

This is the same thing that happened with Sandy Hook.

UPDATE VI (12:50 pm ET):

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano had a fiery exchange with Rep. Jeff Duncan during a House hearing Thursday morning over reports that Al Alharbi is being considered for deportation.

Napolitano refused to entertain a question regarding if it would be “negligence” to deport someone who just days ago was a person of interest.

“I’m not going to answer that question,” she shot back after being pressed by Duncan and denying any knowledge of such a plan. “That question is so full with misstatements and misapprehensions that it is not worthy of an answer.”

Watch her response and read her other fiery comments in our full write-up here.

You'd think it would at least be worthy of a "Congressman, there are three people dead! What difference does it make now?" answer.

Or, if it weren't true, then just say, "No."

She is not happy. Looks like Team Kenya is going to have to go to plan B now that the saudi is out of the bag.

Good question. The Congressman referenced CBS, but I can’t find what he was referring to.

I would feel better if a liberal source was reporting the same, given the chance they might have different source.

Best guess ... a return to business as usual and everyone will act like nothing happened. Each of us know what business as usual is from the lame-stream drive bys. The lame-stream drive bys just will not report the truth. Both sides LE and the lame-stream drive bys, it looks to be, are firing a shot across the bow of each other. Interesting ...

Lessee here now. Saudi’s “trsted travelers,” and we can have pocket knives on flights but umm wasn’t the 9/11 TERRORIST attack from Saudi’s with carpet knives?
Then this, best to deport, handle all muzzarsds with kid gloves because we don’t want terror here, oh wait...wait...I’m sure Obama and Napolitano will tell us the real truth. It was a Doen’s Syndrome bowler from the Amish country that had a vendetta against Obama and Marathoners and he’s also a white supremacist doncha know.
signed the now Christian terrorist!
