I meant having second thoughts about taking others with him. Maybe he was sitting on the bench mulling over what he was about to do, couldn't go through with it and just ended it right there.
The London bombers as well as the Bali bombers were wearing your generic backpacks. Would do the job as well as a vest, be less noticable and easier to construct.
Actually, I was responding to the quote above. Yours, yes? In any case, it's no big deal.
Damascus Syrian Arab Republic radio in Arabic, official radio station of the Syrian Government carries at 0946 GMT a live sermon from President Hafiz al-Asad mosque in Damascus.
Shaykh Bashir Id al-Bari, mufti of Damascus, delivers the sermon in which he hails Ramadan as a "beloved guest," in which "the doors of paradise are opened and the doors of hell are closed and the devils are chained."
He says: "Here is the month of Ramadan. It will be received by whoever sees its moon. Let him receive it in the best manner with sincere repentance and righteous work that pleases God and His messenger."
The imam notes that some people consider Ramadan a month of rest. "Yet in the history of Islam," he says, "Ramadan is a month of hard work, jihad, earnest effort, and perseverance. In fact, we can call it the month of heroes and heroics." He recalls the battles fought by Muslims in the month of Ramadan, including the 10 Ramadan or 6 October 1973 War.
I noticed that on Drudge earlier today. Unfortunately Drudge remove the photo when I went back to try to get a link.
Law enforcement sources close to the Northeast Intelligence Network have confirmed that search and seizure warrants were served today upon the residence of the suicide bomber, 21-year-old Joel Henry Hinrichs III of Colorado Springs, CO, who was a resident of the Park View Apartments on campus. Speaking strictly off the record, the officials stated that they recovered a significant amount of Islamic Jihad type literature, some possibly written in Arabic, along with the suspects computer. Some of the documentation included material on how to construct bomb-making vests.

'Mornin' A_D! I wouldn't attribute the sight of rural shotguns and rifles to an anti-terrorist mindset. Remember it is hunting season, too. If you see lots of AR's and M1A's then I'll feel comforted.
Police believe that two Malaysians, Azahari bin Husin and Noordin Mohamed Top, were responsible for the October 1 attack. The two men are known members of Islamic terror group Jemaah Islamiyah, and were believed hiding in Indonesia. In the last three years, the government came down hard on Jemaah Islamiyah, arresting nearly a hundred and prosecuting, convicting and jailing most of them. But the government did not try to wipe out Jemaah Islamiyah, fearing that this might trigger a civil war with Islamic conservatives. That may change. Islam in this part of the world is rather milder than what is found in the Middle East. But over the past decade, the more militant form of Islam found in the Middle East has become more popular in urban areas of Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. Because of that, the government was able to defeat Jemaah Islamiyah, both in terms of finding and arresting Islamic terrorists, and defeating Islamic militias that were attacking non-Moslems in the country. Bali, for example, is largely Hindu, which is one reason it has been the target of Islamic terrorists.
The government got a lot of public support after the 2002 attacks, which had emotional, and economic (by hurting the tourist trade) impact on most Indonesians. The police received enough tips to track down and capture most members of Jemaah Islamiyah. Another surge of public support for the police is helping in the search for those responsible for the October 1 attack. This is likely to result in more serious damage to Jemaah Islamiyah. After the October 12, 2002 attack in Bali, there was another in December, 2002 that killed three. There were three attacks in 2003, that killed twelve. In 2004, there was only one attack, that killed tem. Earlier this year, there were two attacks, killing 19. Since that first bombing in 2002, most of the dead and wounded have been Indonesian, even though Jemaah Islamiyah says that it is making war on foreigners and infidels (non-Moslems.) Most Indonesians don't believe this, and see Jemaah Islamiyah as a bunch of homicidal maniacs. Jemaah Islamiyah was never a very large organization, with no more than a few hundred core members. Fewer than a hundred are still at large, and most are expected to be rounded up in the next few months. Islamic terrorism has proved to be very unpopular in Islamic nations, turning more and more Moslems, including conservative ones, against the terrorists. Jemaah Islamiyah would like to attack non-Moslem targets, but they have not been able to, and in desperation have made attacks that kill mostly Moslems.
October 1, 2005: On Bali, three pedestrian suicide bombers killed themselves, and 23 others in the tourist areas of Bali island. Islamic terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah is suspected, as there have been many warnings from the government that more terrorist attacks were in the works. Bali had increased security, especially to deal with car bombs. But suicide bombers on foot were another matter. Three years ago, a car bomb attack in Bali killed 202 people, many of them Australian. This time, most of the dead and wounded were Indonesian.

Good job!!
Depending if this is the most current photo - it would appear that he has either the scruffy college beard or an islamic style (aka 'Adam').
There we have it. Thanks for that most important update.
Joel Henry Hinrichs III
BTW...in my previous post I meant to type "Homicide Bomber"...not "HOMOcide"...I surly don't want to be un-PC....
UNLESS somebody ELSE wired him into the bomb and set a boobytrap to prevent such a case.That is where I was going with the theory of him being unconscious.
LOL, come to think of it (hard for a Monday AM before the caffine hits the brain), it probably was your blog that I read on this on.
