Conservative radio talk show host Glenn Beck says the government has yet to disprove his theory that a Saudi national helped Boston bombings suspects Tarmerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev execute the explosions. According to Beck, the brothers were not "lone wolves in the attack."
Beck says that Saudi national Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi was originally named a "person of interest" in the attack and is an al-Qaeda operative who recruited the Tsarnaev brothers in his plot to bomb the marathon. He was also injured in the Boston marathon bombing.
The U.S. considered Alharbi as a terrorist, but the designation was removed after a meeting between Sec. of State John Kerry had a private meeting with Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal on the day of the bombing.
Now the Right-Wing pundit is calling for the federal government to provide him with evidence that proves his conspiracy theory is false. On his television show he announced that "the burden of proof is on the federal government and so far they have not presented one shred of evidence that refutes what The Blaze has reported. Not one."
The day before Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken into custody, the Department of Homeland Security debunked rumors alleging a Saudi connection to the Boston Marathon bombing. They announced that one Saudi national who was injured in the blasts was questioned by the FBI because he was at the marathon during the attack. However, he is not considered a suspect or a person of interest in the investigation, the DHS said. The other Saudi national from the Boston area was taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody after he violated his visa which had nothing to do with the incident at the Boston Marathon.
