Highlights of Glenn Beck's Exclusive On Saudi Once Considered 'Person of Interest' In Boston Bombings

By Susan Duclos

Last week Glenn Beck promised detailed information on the Boston Marathon bombings and today he provided a preview  on the information. Beck’s exclusive leaves more questions than it answers but he is not alone in wanting information on the Saudi National once considered a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombings.  Congressional members are also asking for detailed accounts from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

• A Saudi national originally identified as a “person of interest” in
  the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B —
  “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” after the
  bombing
• As the story gained traction, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi
• Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer
  questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on
  Capitol Hill.
• An ICE official said a different Saudi national is in custody, but is “in no way” connected to the bombings.
• A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi was
  created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (though
  it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent
  to Congress.
• Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano
• Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports
  that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and
  granted a student visa without being properly vetted.  Sources close to
  the investigation also told him the Saudi is still set for deportation.
• New information provided to TheBlaze reveals Alharbi’s file was
  altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial
  charges
• Sources say the Saudi’s student visa specifically allows him to go
  to school in Findlay, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in
  Boston, Massachusetts
• Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to
  the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be
  discussed.

Read the entire piece, those are just the bullet points.

In another exclusive, Beck has obtained a copy of the letter from House Committee on Homeland Security to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Text of the letter below:

We are writing to request a
classified briefing on Department of Homeland Security information and
actions related to the case of the original person of interest in the
terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 22, 2013.

On Thursday, April 18th, you testified
before the Committee on Homeland Security and responded to a question
related to this individual’s immigration status by saying that you “were
unaware of anyone being deported for national security concerns at all
related to Boston.”  However, media reports have continued to raise
concerns about this individual and adjustments that may have been made
to his immigration status, including possible visa revocation and
terrorist watch-listing, in the days following the bombing.

We request the Department provide a
detailed overview of the records associated with this individual to
include his law enforcement and immigration records prior to April 15,
2013, as well as his current status.  We request briefers from the
Office of Intelligence and Analysis, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection.

We appreciate your immediate attention to this issue and anticipate your prompt reply.

Out of a list of 85 terrorists listed by the Saudi government shows several of Al-Harbi clan to have been active fighters in Al-Qaeda:

#15 Badr Saud Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
#73 Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
#26 Khalid Salim Uwaid Al-Lahibi Al-Harbi
