Because in the event of a bombing the feds will seize control immediately. Even in the event of an accidental explosion the feds are on the scene almost immediately.
The Feds were there. The other thread has accounts describing how Homeland Sec. and FBI were on the scene right after the first explosion.
According to phikapmom, an acquaintance who was there, who is Persian was interviewed by the cops after the incident. She was then instructed to not talk. I hope the reason is an ongoing roundup of all friends, family, etc. of the bomber, and not a 'public hysteria management' tactic.
Personally, I would like to see a little more 'public hysteria' with regard to terrorism.

Norman police did say there was more than one device and now that story has changed since Homeland Security and FBI took over.
