Maybe I'm just cynical but it's interesting that his name/origin were not mentioned.

WHAT HAPPEN?

[thoughtomator]

So was Mohammad his first name, or his last name?

[Alas Babylon!]

From the other thread....

The explosion killed a 17-year-old boy of Syrian origin. He and his 19-year-old brother were awaiting trial on a number of charges of crime for profit, including emptying slot machines.

Did the bomb damage his queran?

"Norwegian police said internet instructions on how to make explosives and some powder were found at the flat."

This guy needed internet instructions on how not to be stupid. One more out of the gene pool.

Do you see Muslims under every rock? Plenty of kids love to blow stuff up in their free time. When I was a freshman, a Chem graduate student was arrested for making bombs in his apartment. Blame Fight Club, not bin Laden.

Yeah, and one of his buddies was Pakistani. I just saw the San Diego Union-Trib article. Apparently they liked to bust open transit ticket machines for the cash.

Wouldn't it be a lot safer just to pack a sledgehammer?

Ticket machines were bomb targets

The explosives that blasted an Oslo apartment on Wednesday killing a teen occupant were intended to be used to blow up Oslo Transit ticket machines. The damage from the blast that rocked an Oslo apartment building on Wednesday night is clearly visible here.

Police said at a Thursday press conference that the three men present when their homemade bomb detonated were preparing a crime scheme from a recipe downloaded from the Internet.

The explosion killed a 17-year-old boy of Syrian origin. He and his 19-year-old brother were awaiting trial on a number of charges of crime for profit, including emptying slot machines.

A 20-year-old friend of the brothers has been charged with illegal handling of explosives and was being questioned on Thursday afternoon. This person is of Pakistani origin, police said.

"I will not say if these three have blown up other ticket machines but explosives have been used to this end in this part of the city a few days ago," said police inspector Terje Kristiansen of Oslo police.

The deceased teenager had been convicted of over 20 offenses, most committed when under compulsory placement in child welfare institutions in Oslo and Arendal. In his last conviction in June 2004 he was sentenced for 17 car thefts, threats, robbing a store, drug abuse and violence against a civil servant.

The status of the 19-year-old is still serious. He suffered face and head injuries and numerous fractures in the blast

Save your self righteous rage, the kid was a Syrian, try again later.

[Unassuaged]

I agree that plenty of teen boys try to make bombs, or so I am told...
But I did read elsewhere that the deceased was of Syrian origin.

Just Damm.
Where in the hell is OSHA when you really need em?

[HEY4QDEMS]

He was Syrian and even if he was Osama bin Ladin, there is no way in hell the BBC would report it.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

How flat was his Oslo after the detonation?

One more out of the gene pool.

Ah yes, the lovely smell of chlorine in the gene pool.

Well, that kind of s..t happens, when dilettantes manipulate explosives...
I won't shed a tear on him
He should have been outside, playing soccer or fishing.
