'Our friends the Saudis' say they warned US about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Crapoiltano's DHS denies it
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.
This information was allegedly separate from warnings that Russia sounded and was apparently predicated upon intelligence that was collected in Yemen, Daily Mail reports. 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 individual claimed. This is the first time that alleged plans to visit Islam’s most holy city have been divulged.
The source went on to say that, although the letter, which purportedly came from the Saudi Ministry 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.”But the Obama administration's Department of Homeland Security denies receiving any such warning.
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.Whom are you going to believe? Our friends the Saudis or Obama and Crapolitano? Seems obvious to me.
By the way, when I arrived at Heathrow, there were signs all over the place asking if you were coming from Boston and have any pictures or information.

Hmmm...the Saudis claim to have warned the US in writing. The Obama Admin's DHS apparatchik Napolitano denies it. For once, I believe the Saudis.
I suppose the Obama Admin's fallback position will be that the written warning became lost, so that Napolitano and other higher-ups have enough plausible deniability that, with MSM collusion, they once again will sleaze away from being held responsible for a major foul-up.
Obama & Co., where, like the image of blindfolded Justice holding a balanced scale, incompetence is balanced with dishonor.
