Big Sis Admits Saudi On Terror Watch List
Congressman whose inquiry was called ‘unworthy’ pursues case
WND
In a hearing last week, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano angrily dismissed an inquiry by a congressman about a Saudi national who was questioned by authorities in the aftermath of the Boston bombing as “not worthy of an answer,” but she admitted in a Senate hearing this week the man was on a terror watch list.
Napolitano, however, still has not responded to a request by the lawmaker she indignantly brushed off last week, Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., for a classified briefing on Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi.
“Any time a member of Congress is asking a question on behalf of the American people, that question is worthy of a response,” Duncan told WND after Napolitano’s admission in the Senate hearing Tuesday appeared to justify his concern about the Saudi.
While Napolitano insisted Tuesday that authorities absolved Alharbi of anything to do with the April 15 Boston bombings and had him on a watch list only during questioning, The Blaze has reported the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center issued an event file for the Saudi calling for his deportation under Section 212 (a)(3 )(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. That section makes a foreigner inadmissible to the U.S. for terrorism or related activity.
Wednesday, The Blaze further reported the event file created for Alharbi indicated he was “armed and dangerous.”
