It sure is. Even if we are to assume that this Saudi kid was not directly involved in the Boston attacks, my speculation (based on the limited information I've seen) would lead me to wonder if the following chain of events was what happened here:

1. Saudi kid befriends younger mutant from Chechnya.

2. Saudi kid is very wealthy and ends up helping to partly finance the lavish lifestyle of the mutants from Chechnya (mainly through the younger one).

3. All three of these individuals -- and maybe more -- go out to see the Boston Marathon that Monday. The two mutants are the only ones who know what's really going on.

4. Bombs detonate. Saudi kid is injured in one of the blasts.

5. The White House finds out who the kid is, and that hastily-scheduled meeting is held with the Saudi ambassador on very short notice.

6. The White House and the Saudi government agree that the best course of action is to get the kid out of the U.S. immediately.

7. The plan unravels once the internet is abuzz with speculation outside the mainstream media about what is happening. The plan to hustle the kid out of the country is also complicated by: (1) his injuries, (2) the paper trail related to his hospital admission, and (3) the internet chatter.

Just my two cents on this. In the interest of full disclosure, I'll openly admit that a lot of other people have a lot more information about this than I do.
