Saudi victim of Boston Marathon bombing sues Glenn Beck INSIDE:
News reports - A Saudi National who was a victim of the Boston Marathon bombing has sued Glenn Beck for defamation and slander after the talk show host called him the “Money man”. Abdulrahman Alharbi who attended the race filed a federal lawsuit against Beck and his associate companies. The 20-year-old Alharbi was injured in the April 15 bombings, questioned as a witness, and even consented to a search of his apartment by authorities. Authorities later determined that Alharbi, a Saudi national, had no involvement in the attacks. However Beck “repeatedly and falsely” identified Alharbi as an active participant in the bombings, the suit claims. The lawsuit also claims Beck questioned the motives of federal authorities who declined to arrest or detain the college student, re-
ported Courthouse News. “Let me just say this to those at the highest echelons of government,” Beck said April 21, according to World Net Daily. “We know who this Saudi national is, and it is in your best interest and the best interest of integrity and trust for the people of United States of America – it’s best coming from you, not coming from a news organization. It’s best coming from you. You have until (April 22). We have information on who this man is, (and) we know he is a very bad, bad, bad man.” Alharbi claims that he had received numerous messages calling him a “murderer, child killer, and terrorist” according to the suit. “Those statements were made widely and publicly,” the suit claims. “The statements were false and did grave injury to the plaintiff.” Alharbi is seeking punitive damages for defamation by Beck.
