Three Saudi Students at the Boston Marathon?
By Shoebat Foundation on April 17, 2013

Yesterday, we posted this photo of three men who appeared to be Saudi. Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi is a Saudi national who was a ‘person of interest’ for less than twenty-four hours. Of the three men in the photo, Alharbi seems to most closely resemble the man on the far right, with the black cap and sunglasses.

We also know that Alharbi belongs to a clan with several ties to Al-Qaeda but for the purposes of this post, focus on the other two men for a moment.

These three men fit the profile of Saudi students. We already know that Alharbi is a 20 year-old Saudi national / student. Obviously, these other two individuals are quite possibly students as well and it shouldn’t be difficult for authorities to find that out.

That leads us to an extremely disturbing trend.

Consider this report from USA Today from earlier this year:

In just seven years, Saudi student enrollments have skyrocketed from 11,116 in 2006, to 71,026 last year, according to the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission to the United States, the Virginia-based agency that administers the scholarship. Nearly all recipients (95%) start with language training, which can take anywhere from a month to a year or more, officials say.

Some reports put the number at 90,000 and climbing. The law of averages is clear. As the number of Saudi students increase, the odds that Al-Qaeda operatives / sympathizers increase as well.

This much is clear. Since 2006 – five years after 9/11, where 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi – the U.S. was home to between 10,000 – 12,000 Saudi students. In 2013, we’re home to almost 100,000 Saudi students. Imagine if the U.S. had been tougher with the Saudis after 9/11.

As we learned courtesy of the Miami Herald today (h/t Andrew Bostom), the FBI was not forthcoming about Saudis who were connected to 9/11 hijackers and left the U.S. weeks before the attacks.

Note: Walid has done quite a bit of profiling in his career and is convinced all three men – possibly students – are Saudi (Alharbi is a student). That Alharbi’s clan has extensive links to Al-Qaeda should make these two individuals persons of interest as well.



We have another photo, again, courtesy of Asian Week. Take a look and note that two of the men in the above photo are separated in this photo (maybe just a bathroom break), the male with the gray jacket and backpack is on the left; the man with the stripes on the sleeves of his jacket is on the right:

“Innocent” Saudi spotted with two other Saudis at Marathon?

By Shoebat Foundation on April 17, 2013

First, a few things that are undisputed. We know that federal, state, and local authorities took interest in a Saudi national named Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi after the Boston marathon bombings. We also know that he was injured and that those authorities searched his apartment and hauled away bags of stuff.

Add to that the fact that not long after Secretary of State John Kerry secretly met with the Saudi Foreign Minister after an open meeting with a photo spray was abruptly changed to a closed-door meeting. Not long after this meeting, Alharbi was no longer a person of interest.

Ok, so authorities are not denying that Alharbi was injured in the blast and they are not denying that he is a Saudi national (don’t look for them to even acknowledge that six members of the Alharbi clan are with Al-Qaeda and five were detained at Gitmo, to include one on the list of six). These authorities are, however, denying that Alharbi had anything to do with the bombings.

That leads to what appears to be three Saudis being spotted near the scene of the explosions. Note that one has what appears to be a backpack over his shoulder, via Asian Week:



Do any of those three resemble Alharbi, who can be seen in this photo, via Al Aribya?



According to Asian Week, the man in the middle (wearing jacket and who is also seen with a pen clipped to his shirt) was standing over a baby stroller.

Note / Update: We cannot confirm that there is a baby stroller in front of this man or that if there is, that it belongs to him.



Ok, to recap…

A Saudi national named Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi – who has six relatives belonging to Al Qaeda and five that were detained at Gitmo – was injured at the scene of terrorist bombings at the Boston marathon. The bombings had certain characteristics that indicate they were the work of Al Qaeda.

Now we have a photo(s) of what very well could be three Saudis, to include at least one who resembles Alharbi at the scene of the bombings.

And Alharbi went from ‘person of interest’ to completely innocent in less than 24 hours?

Smell coverup yet?

PHOTOS OF SAUDI NATIONAL In Hospital After Boston Bombings
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 18, 2013, 11:10 AM

. . .
This morning, FOX announced that Obama is DEPORTING this Saudi on “national security grounds.“

This is the same Saudi (in USA on student visa) who was allegedly tackled after the Boston Marathon bombing, and allegedly ended up in the hospital with serious injuries.

Al-Harbi allegedly has suspected ties to al-Qaeda.

Now we have photos of Ali Alharbi in the hospital.

And here’s Ali- Alharbi at a picnic with a buddy in an Anonymous mask from his Facebook page.
