Saudi Arabia warned US in WRITING about Boston Bomber in 2012

[SanTropez]

Just goes to show you that with all this Patriot Act stuff, and the agencies supposedly "sharing information" and "no more stovepipes" ---- that none of that seems to matter. Details were dropped between the cracks and there is NO SURE WAY to stop terrorist attacks. Perfect example here.

 

[High_Gravity]

When people start a thread without a link to their source for facts, the thread should be closed down and tossed out.

It's as if these hacks don't want us to check out their source, so they try to hide it.

I agree, would you please remind the liberal hacks of your thoughts on this issue? They seem to be doing it more then anyone else. No hurry, just the next talking points alignment meeting.

Saudi official: Kingdom 'warned the United States IN WRITING about Boston Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012 and rejected his application for an entry visa to visit Mecca in 2011' | Mail Online

So we knew about this fucker and did nothing? even the Saudis were smart enough to deny him entry to the country, god help us.

Saudi Arabian ambassador in Washington now DENIES his nation warned the United States about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012

Saudi embassy in Washington D.C. issues denial of account of a senior official who talked to MailOnline
According to a highly placed source who spoke to MailOnline, the Saudis sent a written warning about Tsarnaev to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2012. That was long before pressure-cooker blasts killed three and injured hundreds.

The official told MailOnline about a written warning from the Saudi government to the Department of Homeland Security, and said he had direct knowledge of that document.

But the Middle Eastern nation's embassy in Washington died that account on Wednesday.

It issued a statement which read: 'The Saudi government had no prior information about the Boston bombers. Therefore, it is not true that any information, written or otherwise, was passed to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or any other US agency in this regard,' an embassy statement statement claimed.

'The Saudi government also does not have any record of any application by Tamerlan Tsarnaev for any visa to Saudi Arabia.'

Since some people clearly did not see this post which reverses the OP claim IN WRITING, it needs to be bumped.


The Daily Mail is a tabloid down there at the Fox News level of yellow journalism. Any claims they make should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

Add to that, the only source for this article was an unnamed "highly placed source". Should have been a red flag right off the bat

They've reported at the DM what the Embassy spokesperson said, but they are sticking by their report.

Daily Mail knows who this high ranking official is. And "unnamed sources" are continually cited by every media outlet.

Give me a break that an "unnamed source" discredits the story. May I remind you of "Deep Throat"?

The high-ranking Saudi official whom MailOnlne interviewed at length provided a wealth of detail about the warning he says his government sent to the United States.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk publicly about foreign intelligence, or about Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic relationship with the United States.

He suggested that the Saudi Ministry of Interior sent the letter out of an abundance of caution in order to be helpful to the United States, even though its intelligence on Tsarnaev wasn't yet fully developed.

'With Saudi Arabia it's always code red,' he said. 'There's no code orange, or code yellow. Always red.'

The Saudi government, he added, alerted the U.S. in part because it believed American authorities should be inspecting packages that came to Tsarnaev in the mail in order to search for bomb-making components.



And they are standing by their story.

What's far fetched about this considering Russia was giving warnings as well? Or are we not to believe the stories from Russia as well?


We're only to believe "Big Sis" that this was an "action by lone wolves".

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

DM were the first to break open Benghazi not being caused by a protest over a movie.

Let's see now.

Who should I believe? An administration that lied repeatedly over a protest turning into a riot over a movie?

Or the true reporting of the Daily Mail on Benghazi?

No brainer. I'm running with option #2.

Considering they've already played the "it was an anti muslim movie" card AND now that we know the family received over $100,000 in welfare benefits and food stamps; the Administration can't blame this on the family being treated badly.

I really can't wait to see what they fabricate as motive for this.

Oh wait....

What does it matter why they did this? What does it matter?

It looks like the article about the denial of the Saudi Arabian Ambassador is being reported in the same Mail Online, that is being discredited for not being a legitimate source for news, when it stated that Saudi Arabia warned the US against the bomber in 2012. Can't have it both ways....not legitimate source of news in one article and a legitimate source of news in the other article.

This wasn't a case of dropping the ball Tiny. This is a clear shif from the past. All these warnings and we did NOTHING. Just like Benghazi. ....NOTHING

No actionable intelligence to act on.

Hindsight is so lovely though - I'm right every time after the event

The real issue is Lack of Intelligence and Judgement in the Executive Branch.

All DM did was publish the report that the Embassy in Washington issued a statement. They are standing by their story and claiming that their story was based on a in depth interview.

And considering while every politician and their mother on this side of the pond was still screaming "It was the movie that caused Benghazi" DM broke the truth that there was no protest, no riot, but a planned well executed attack on the compound in Benghazi.

And when no newspaper on this side of the pond wanted to break the news that Major Hasan was insane and a radical, the Telegraph broke the news that Hasan for years was a radical to the point that he in front of a room full of other psychiatrists talked quite freely about beheading infidels and pouring hot oil down their throats.

Of course the administration is still claiming work place violence on Hasan's trial, but the Telegraph proved the dude was koo koo bye bye and radicalized.

Believe it or not there are excellent investigative journalists on the planet. Just not in your alphabet media who regurgitate everything Axelrod tells them too.

Sorries but that's the way it is.
