Steve Emerson: Saudi national questioned in Boston Marathon bombings to be deported on national security grounds next week

From Jihad Watch / Posted by Robert Spencer

Steve Emerson just said on Hannity that a senior official in the agency that is conducting the deportation that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi, the Saudi national who was detained in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings and then was declared a "witness, not a suspect" after his home was searched, is going to be deported next Tuesday on national security grounds.

Why deported and not prosecuted? To keep our "allies" the Saudis happy. After all, Al-Harbi has numerous jihad terror connections, as well as friends in high places.

Was this the deal that was worked out between John Kerry and the Saudis at their meeting yesterday that was suddenly closed to the press?
