As you probably know, there was a Saudi national, a student, who was running from the scene of the explosion at the Boston Marathon, and was tackled by a bystander. The Saudi is a 20 year old student studying English, we were told, but we later found that that he was no longer considered a suspect. A lot of stories came out throughout the day where it was confirmed that a suspect was arrested, only to be later denied by the FBI. There was a media frenzy that seemed to get out of hand.
So it is with caution that I report that Steve Emerson, a terrorism expert who runs the website Investigative Project on Terrorism, and is said to have many contacts in law enforcement, said that the Saudi national is being deported back to Saudi Arabia. This was made public and brought to my attention on The Hannity Show on Fox News Network tonight.
Now there are questions we need to consider regarding this story. The first question, is this story true, and if it is, why is he being deported? Assuming it's true, the only reason I can surmise that they would deport him is if he was somehow involved in the terror bombing and due to our relationship with his country, and to avoid risking embarrassment over the situation, they want him out of the picture.
Remember, earlier in the day, the media was reporting that there was an arrest made. Later it was denied. Is it possible they learned the Saudi student was involved, planned to arrest him, but instead, decided to deport him? In the interim, perhaps there was an information leak about the arrest. I don't know, and obviously nobody is talking.
Again, everything is speculative and I have no more information than the rest of the public. I just wanted to put some thoughts out here for you to consider. I certainly hope our government would not let any perpetrator of such a heinous crime, and horrible act of terrorism, be allowed to go unpunished, no matter which damn country he comes from.
