Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List
Fox News ^ | Monday, April 22, 2013 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 04/22/2013 7:29:52 AM PDT by kristinn

The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out as a suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.

A source close to the investigation revealed that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi had been deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa – any alien who is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry – in terrorist activity.

At least two additional sources have confirmed to me that Ali Alharbi is set to be deported as early as this week, contrary to statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

SNIP

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told me that it was a case a “Saudi being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

The official, with knowledge of the case, said Alharbi’s status has changed – but as it now stands – he will be sent back home.

“They don’t like the negative press,” the official said of the Saudis. “The guess is he will probably be allowed to leave without a lot of hype in order to avoid political sensitivities with the Saudis.”

Notes from today’s Beck radio program to add to your link. I haven’t verified if his facts are accurate.

Jan 14 Obama met with Saudi minister

2 days later Big Sis came out with trusted traveler for Saudi Arabia

France and Germany are not trusted travelers.

Ears close to head, narrow, sloping shoulders, tall forehead? Actually the guy in black he seems to be conferring with looks more like the Imam.

So, we have what 6 guys now at the bomb site in Islamic photos? I’m still wondering about RoofGuy.

Let's not forget that it's just a month or two ago that the administration/DHS implemented the "Saudi Trusted Traveler" program which gives Saudi's MUCH less scrutiny when applying for visa's.

They're not making it harder to get into this country, they're making it easier.

The arrows point to both terrorists. The one was in the white cap but the other was in a gray cap and sweatshirt. I think it's just to show where they were together just after one of the bombs went off.

The more interesting one is one showing the younger brother in the white cap, standing 2 feet behind the 8 year old little boy that was later killed in the blast. Chilling!

Is Al_harbi a name like Smith in the US?

The interpretation I put on it:

Al is the word 'the' in arabic. 'Al Queda' = 'The Base' etc.

And according to the koran, there are two contending forces at work in the world. Dar al Harb and Dar El Salaam. Dar al Harb is 'The House of War' and Dar El Salaam is the House of Peace.

Dar El Salaam is everything muslim in the world and Dar al Harb is everything non muslim in the world. And the way the koran reads, everything in the Dar Al Harb (non muslim) will be brought under the control of Dar al Eslaam (muslim) before all of the fighting is finished.

I think his name is a play on 'The House of War' and how he's going to conquer them.

But that's just me. Your milage may vary :)

Because there was no one in the entire country of Saudi to teach him English, right?

And even though he is supposedly rich and well-connected, he decided to live (hide?) in Revere (one of the dumpier areas around Boston).
