Remember the original "person of interest" we blogged about the other day, Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Alharbi? Originally the FBI stated that they thought they knew who the bomber was and no wonder. It turns out that the "Alharbi clan has long been active in al-Qaida. Khaled bin Ouda
bin Mohammed al-Harbi, for example, is a Saudi national who joined Osama
bin Laden’s mujahadeen group in the 1980s. He reportedly became an
al-Qaida member in the mid-1990s. He turned himself in to Saudi
authorities in 2004 as part of an amnesty deal.
The BBC reported
Khaled Alharbi was married to the daughter of al-Qaida’s number two,
Ayman al-Zawahiri. He reportedly appeared with bin Laden in a video
praising the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
In light of recent reports that Alharbi was scheduled for deportation
on ‘national security grounds’, the first lady’s visit (to the Saudi who was injured at ground zero in Boston) takes on much
added significance if those reports are true. We already know that the
Alharbi clan consists of multiple al-Qaida members. This would seem to
bolster the claims of scheduled deportation this Tuesday, not claims to the contrary
made by the likes of DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, who actually never
really answered the question; she just got rankled and blew it off.
Atlas Shrugs: Debka is reporting that the brothers were members of a Wahhabi cell funded by Saudi al Qaeda."
