Congressional source confirm:
Saudi student connected to Boston Marathon bombing
set to be deported under “security related grounds”

Update 5 9:40pm ET: Exclusive: Congressional Source Contradicts ICE Account, Says Lawmakers in Possession of File on Saudi National That Called for Visa Revocation.



From TheBlaze:


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.

[...]

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.

Update 4: Glenn gave the latest on this story on his TV show: [ Watch his 5 minute 08 second video here. ]

Update 3 4:26pm ET: A senior law enforcement official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told TheBlaze Thursday that reports claiming the department was deporting Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi under section 212 3B (“security and related grounds”) and had opened an “event” (or file) on the Saudi Arabian national following the Boston attacks is “categorically false.”

The official also told TheBlaze that Alharbi was never in custody nor ever considered for deportation by ICE, but that the department does have a different Saudi national in custody being held on grounds unrelated to the Boston bombings.

UPDATE 2: Rep. Jeff Duncan had a tense exchange with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano Thursday morning after Duncan raised questions about the Saudi ‘person of interest’ and reports he may be deported. Napolitano became defensive and said “I’m not going to answer that question” instead of simply providing an explanation. More on TheBlaze.



UPDATE 1: 10:50am ET: Joel Cheatwood, President & Chief Creative Officer for TheBlaze, told Glenn on the radio show:

“Just got a note from one of our investigative reporters that she has been told
that there is now discussion
that they may not allow this man to be deported.”

[Yosemitest]

My apologies. I misread your post.

"The interests of the American people should come AHEAD of Obama's desire to get him out of the country before he can be questioned, IMO."

I don't know how I did it, but I read that exactly backwards of what it says.
That what I get for being in too big of a hurry, and very tired, also.
Again, I sorry.

[Yosemitest]

"Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi Student who was reported as a person of interest in the Boston Marathon bombing," ...

WHAT IF ... he's the terrorists' cell leader and financier, receiving funds from Saudi Arabia, and from his parents?

Or go to this article, Saudi national questioned in Boston attack may be deported on Hannity, by Fox News.

[Yosemitest]

I agree.
But our "linguine-spined" Congress members don't have the nerve to IMPEACH the TRAITOR and ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF.

U.S. 'deporting Saudi person of interest'
Obama has unscheduled meeting with foreign minister

(excerpt)

... WND reported Wednesday morning that the Saudi student Alharbi shares the same last name as a major Saudi clan that includes scores of al-Qaida operatives.

Some in the clan are senior al-Qaida members while others are reportedly being held by the U.S. in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.

Two Saudi nationals were reportedly injured in the bombings in Boston, with one, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, initially put under armed guard at a hospital. Alharbi is reportedly studying in the U.S. on a student visa.

A large group of federal and state law enforcement agents reportedly raided Alharbi’s apartment in Revere, Mass.

CNN reported the search took place by consent, according to a federal law-enforcement source, meaning no search warrant was needed.

Now the Saudi embassy in Washington has said Alharbi was no longer under detention and is not a suspect in the bomb blasts.

Saudi diplomat Azzam bin Abdel Karim reportedly visited Alharbi in the hospital.

Nail Al-Jubeir, a spokesman for the Saudi mission in Washington, stated that U.S. authorities told the embassy “no Saudi national was a suspect in the Boston Marathon attack and that the Saudi national in question was a witness, not a suspect.”

While it is not clear whether the Alharbi questioned as part of the marathon probe is a member of the well-known Saudi clan, his Facebook page, reviewed by WND, lists him as Facebook friends with at least seven other Alharbis, located in both Boston and in Saudi Arabia.

One of the Alharbis on his Facebook friends list, Ahmed Alharbi, is listed as a pharmacy technician at the Saudi Ministry of Health. Most others live in Riyadh.

The Alharbi clan has long been active in al-Qaida. Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-Harbi, for example, is a Saudi national who joined Osama bin Laden’s mujahadeen group in the 1980s. He reportedly became an al-Qaida member in the mid-1990s. He turned himself in to Saudi authorities in 2004 as part of an amnesty deal.

The BBC reported Khaled Alharbi was married to the daughter of al-Qaida’s number two, Ayman al-Zawahri. He reportedly appeared with bin Laden in a video praising the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Another top al-Qaida operative is Adel Radi Saqr al-Wahabi al-Harbi, a Saudi national identified by the State Department as “a key member of an al-Qaida network operating in Iran.”

The State Department has offered a multimillion-dollar reward for the capture of Abdel Alharbi, saying he is an Iran-based al-Qaida facilitator who serves as the deputy to Muhsin al-Fadhl, who runs al-Qaida’s Iran network.

On his website, former Palestinian Liberation Organization operative Walid Shoebat translated a list of the Saudi government’s 85 wanted al-Qaida members.

The list includes several members of the Alharbi clan:


• Badr Saud Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
• Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
• Khalid Salim Uwaid Al-Lahibi Al-Harbi
• Raed Abdullah Salem Al-Thahiri Al-Harbi
• Abdullah Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al-Harbi (leader)
• Fayez Ghuneim Humeid Al-Hijri Al-Harbi

Shoebat also points out that several Alharbi clan members are being held by the U.S. government at Guantanamo Bay, including
• Salim Salman Awadallah Al-Saidi Al-Harbi,
  
• Majid Abdullah Hussein Al-Harbi,
  
• Muhammad Abdullah Saqr Al-Alawi Al-Harbi,
  
• Ghanem Abdul Rahman Ghanem Al-Harbi
  
• and Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awfi Al-Harbi.

If you're not listening to Glenn, you're NOT LISTENING !

But to Whom do we turn, to separate his wheat from his chaff?

[Elsie]

Please, please consider these things and read it from your own Bible. The storm clouds are almost upon us.

The storm is HERE!

(Get the first sentence to Beck!!)

[Yosemitest]

Have you not heard him talk about The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret of America's Future ?
I'm confident that he reads the Bible.

[jacob allen]

How did he burn his hands?? Why did he smell of gunpowder?? Why was he near the center of action at the bombings?? Is this going to be the biggest “in your face” cover-up of all time??

[Yosemitest]

There's no real cover-up. Just "in-your-face" arrogance.
Obama's only fooling those who WANT TO BE fooled.
To HELL with Obama and ALL THOSE who support him!

[Errant]

No problem, I often do the same myself.

Apology accepted and please pardon my Beck rant. I'd just cancelled him for the 2nd time, after he and Pat blasted Alex Jones again. I don't understand why he feels he has to do that. Seems to me that even though A.J. is a loose cannon at times, he's still our cannon. The fight is with those trying to take our liberty, not with those speaking out about it, no matter how loudly or abrasive.

But because of you, I listened to the show, to see what I had missed and because I have until next month on my current subscription. I heard Beck say he is a changed man now (concerning the conspiracy stuff), so maybe I'll continue my subscription. Let's see what he has to say tomorrow. :)

Many thanks for taking time to explain how we got crossways.
