  • Saudi Arabia 'warned the United States IN WRITING about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012'

    EXCLUSIVE: Saudi Arabia 'warned the United States IN WRITING about Boston Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012'

    • Saudis developed intelligence separately from Russia, which also warned the U.S. about the accused Boston bomber
    • A letter to the Department of Homeland Security allegedly named Tsarnaev and three Pakistanis as potential jihadis worthy of U.S. investigation
    • Red flags from Saudi Arabia to have included Tsarnaev's name and information about a planned explosive attack on a major U.S. city
    • Saudi foreign minister, national security chief both met with Obama in the oval office in early 2013


    The Daily Mail / Mail Online

    Excerpt:

    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent a written warning about accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2012, long before pressure-cooker blasts killed three and injured hundreds, according to a senior Saudi government official with direct knowledge of the document.

    The Saudi warning, the official told MailOnline, was separate from the multiple red flags raised by Russian intelligence in 2011, and was based on human intelligence developed independently in Yemen.

    Citing security concerns, the Saudi government also denied an entry visa to the elder Tsarnaev brother in December 2011, when he hoped to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, the source said. Tsarnaev's plans to visit Saudi Arabia have not been previously disclosed.

    Was it preventable? A senior Saudi official says his country warned the U.S. about Tamerlane Tsarnaev in 2012, advising the federal government that he planned an attack on a major U.S. city

    The Saudis' warning to the U.S. government was also shared with the British government. 'It was very specific’ and warned that 'something was going to happen in a major U.S. city,' the Saudi official said during an extensive interview.

    It 'did name Tamerlan specifically,' he added. The 'government-to-government' letter, which he said was sent to the Department of Homeland Security at the highest level, did not name Boston or suggest a date for his planned attack.

    If true, the account will produce added pressure on the Homeland Security department and the White House to explain their collective inaction after similar warnings were offered about Tsarnaev by the Russian government.

    A DHS official denied, however, that the agency received any such warning from Saudi intelligence about Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

    'DHS has no knowledge of any communication from the Saudi government regarding information on the suspects in the Boston Marathon Bombing prior to the attack,' MailOnline learned from one Homeland Security official who declined to be named in this report.

    The White House took a similar view. 'We and other relevant U.S. government agencies have no record of such a letter being received,' said Caitlin Hayden, a spokesperson for the president’s National Security Council.

    The letter likely came to DHS via the Saudi Ministry of Interior, the agency tasked with protecting the Saudi kingdom’s homeland.

    A Homeland Security official confirmed Tuesday evening on the condition of anonymity that the 2012 letter exists, saying he had heard of the Saudi communication before MailOnline inquired about it.

    An aide to a Republican member of the House Homeland Security Committee speculated Tuesday about why the Obama administration contradicted the knowledgeable Saudi official.

    ‘It is possible the Department of Homeland Security received the information from the Saudi government but never passed it on to the White House,’ the GOP staffer said. 'Communication between DHS and the White House's national security apparatus isn't always what it should be.’

    'I can easily see it happening where one hand didn't know what the other was doing because of a turf war.'

    'Just like the different agencies in the Boston JTTF [Joint Terrorism Task Force] want credit for breaking the Tsarnaev case,' the aide added, 'they sometimes jealously guard the very intel they should be sharing the most freely. Sometimes it makes no sense at all.'

    Yet another communication that never arrived

    Canada Free Press

    Judi McLeod
    5/1/2013

    Excerpt:

    We’ll never know for sure whether Saudi Arabia really did warn the USA in writing about the terrorist attack intentions of one Tamerlan Tsarnaev, but we do know that President Barack Obama slept through the slaughter in Benghazi.

    “A senior Saudi government official told Daily Mail that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent a written warning to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2012. According to the source, the letter was pertaining to Tsarnaev and potential terror threats.” (Daily Mail, May 1, 2013).

    Is this a Saudi Arabia/USA “You-cover-my-back-and-I’ll-cover-yours” game?

    Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud bin al-Faisal attended an unscheduled White House meeting with President Barack Hussein Obama on April 17, 2013. Odd that nothing was mentioned about the written warning from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on that day.

    During the time period of 2012 when a Saudi Arabia official says the letter was sent, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was busy nailing returning war vets, “bible thumping” Christian and Tea Party patriots as the real potential terrorists. Don’t Saudi Arabians surf the Internet?

    “In addition to sending the warning to America, the Saudi government also denied an entry visa to Tsarnaev in Dec. 2011 when he purportedly sought to take the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, the source claimed.

    Well bully for the Saudi government. Can they now promise in writing that they will stop their massive funding of terrorism conducted in all countries of the world due to Wahhabism (ultra conservative branch of Sunni Islam)?

    “The source went on to say that, although the letter, which purportedly came from the Saudi Minister of Interior, did not name Boston specifically, it did cite Tsarnaev and it was “very specific”. The Saudi official also told the outlet that the notice warned the U.S. government that “something was going to happen in a major U.S. city”.

    That’s exactly what countless Americans have been saying ever since Obama got himself elected, knowing at heart that Obama is much more like the Saudis than he is like them.

    The U.S. government, incidentally is denying that such a communication was ever received.

    The Saudis would know that the U.S. government does not hear communication from places such as Benghazi where the death of four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens commemorated the 11th anniversary of 9/11.

      New Boston suspects drove car with ‘Terrorista #1′ license plate [VIDEO]

      The Daily Caller

      5/1/2013

      Excerpt:

      Two suspects who have been taken into custody in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings drove a car with “Terrorista #1″ license plates.

      Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev were reportedly arrested, along with one other person, for allegedly making false statements and obstructing justice during the federal investigation into Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, officials said Wednesday.

      Tazhayakov and Kadrbayev, who are reportedly in FBI custody, drove around in a black BMW with “Terrorista #1″ license plates and were also photographed with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Times Square.

      Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev were Kazakh students in Massachusetts. They were taken into custody April 19, then released and arrested April 20 for immigration violations. An attorney for Kadyrbayev said that the students were being held for violating their student visas by not attending classes. (RELATED: Boston police: 3 more suspects in custody)

        UPDATE: 5/1/2013

        Excerpt:

        The Saudi embassy in Washington, D.C. today denied its government warned the U.S. about accused Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

        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 denied 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.'
