A Muslim victim of the Boston Marathon bombing has sued Glenn Beck for
defamation and slander after the talk show host accused him of funding the
attacks.

Race spectator Abdulrahman Alharbi filed a federal lawsuit against Beck
and his companies, The Blaze Inc. and Mercury Radio Arts, and his radio
syndicator, Premier Radio Networks.

The 20-year-old Alharbi was injured in the April 15 bombings, questioned as
a witness, and consented to a search of his apartment.

Authorities quickly determined that Alharbi, a Saudi national of Middle
Eastern descent, had no involvement in the attacks.

But Beck “repeatedly and falsely” identified Alharbi as an active participant
in the bombings, the suit claims.
