State Department Will Not Intervene in Saudi Hit-and-Run Murder Case

HeadlineFeb 28, 2019

The State Department has said it will not intervene in the case of a Saudi man accused of killing a 15-year-old American student in a hit-and-run in Portland, Oregon. The suspect, Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah, is said to have fled the United States back to Saudi Arabia, with the help of Saudi officials, who reportedly helped him obtain a fake passport in order to fly him out of the U.S. It’s believed to be one of several similar cases of Saudi nationals accused of crimes being spirited out of the U.S. Click here to see our interview with Shane Dixon Kavanaugh, The Oregonian reporter who broke the story.
