Congressional Source: Lawmakers in Possession of File on Saudi That Called for Visa Revocation

The Blaze ^ | 4/18/13

[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.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Maybe he knows these guys?

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.

Could have something to do with the fact that the guy's Facebook page had a group photo in which the two suspects whose photos were released by the FBI today appear to be included.

So they knew each other, which doesn't necessarily mean that Rahman was in on the bomb plot.

What? They guy they are going to deport is in a group photo with the two suspects?

Photo? Link?

The Blaze is so full of shit they can’t even keep track of their own echo chambers of lies.

“So they knew each other, which doesn’t necessarily mean that Rahman was in on the bomb plot.”

Of course it does suggest that...

[roses of sharon]

I saw that pic today, this kid is a Saudi Royal, so we will most likely never know.

"The Blaze is so full of shit they can’t even keep track of their own echo chambers of lies."

What did they lie about?

Interesting that this Alharbi character was wearing a white baseball cap when chased down after the bombing. One wonders if word was out in certain circles of the mohammedan community to wear white caps to the marathon to serve as decoys?

[ladyjane]

How do you know he was wearing a white baseball cap at the marathon?

It's some sort of white head covering. See the 5th image down.

Could it be the hospital guy rolled on the two suspects and in exchange for information he was given a deal. To protect him, and before they arrest them the FEDS are pretending that their information came from the videos and not the Saudi.

[petitfour]

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

[ladyjane]

Are we sure that’s him? He looks black and that’s quite a distance from the finish line. Has it been confirmed it’s him?

[roses of sharon]

I am not sure, sorry.

The FBI presser thread has some info on him.

[ladyjane]

He’s not in college. He’s attending (allegedly) the english school in Harvard Square. Of course he lives in a building with many Saudis, his roommates are Saudi, and he probably doesn’t speak English outside of class. Maybe he can stretch out his schooling for a few years.
