NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- The Pakistani roommate of a man authorities say died when he detonated an explosive device outside a crowded football stadium was led in handcuffs from a party shortly after Saturday's explosion, the head of an Islamic student group said.
Fazal M. Cheema, a finance major, shared a university-owned apartment with Joel Hinrichs III, 21, who died Saturday when a device attached to his body exploded as he sat on a bench outside George Lynn Cross Hall.
Cheema and three other Muslim students were led in handcuffs from a party by police after the blast, Ashraf Hussein, president of the Muslim Student Association, said Tuesday. They later were released...
...OU President David Boren said authorities continue to believe that Hinrichs... acted alone. He said Hinrichs' roommate, along with his acquaintances, were questioned by federal authorities...
The FBI said in a statement Tuesday that there is no current threat posed by additional explosive materials, that there is no known threat from anyone else related to the incident and that there is no known link between Hinrichs and any terrorist or extremist organization or activities...
Meanwhile, Norman feed store operator Dustin Ellison said Hinrichs attempted to purchase ammonium nitrate a few days before the explosion...a key ingredient in the 1995 attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
The FBI told [Hinrich's father]...more high-density hydrogen peroxide was found in the apartment.

Scary. There was shrapnel in the device.

Thanks Lizarde
Thanks I just realized that. I was flipping between threads and blog links and had a senior moment.
Agreed.
I have also pinged the entire list to http://tapscottscopydesk.blogspot.com
There is a lot of useful info here. Thanks Grampa Dave and Lizarde.
I heard that you're doing a ping list for this case. Please add me.
Also, I'll be pinging the 'OKC-911 connection' list as details emerge which may tie into Moussaoui and the Norman muslim community. Please let me know if anything new emerges on that subject, or anything that ties into the Murrah Building bombing in general. Thanks for your service to the pajamahideen!
If this is true, his back pack was loaded with nails or other objects which would become deadly sharpnel when exploded.
And raped.
The media continues to report on Abu Ghraib yet has forgotten Beslan.
More "lone nut" extremists.
This link will tell you more than you will ever want to know about 16 penney nails.

They make very lethal non explosive missiles when wrapped around an explosive.
Good you are on this thread.
If the nails were in a tree, it was by accident. An emotionally disturbed white suicide who only wanted to kill himself in an oddly public way would not have needed shrapnel, as the explosive on his person would have killed him instantly. Since this was Just a Suicide, there couldn't have been nails. So, probably there just happened to be nails near his bench, that just got caught up in the explosion, and thats how they got in the tree.
Got it?
I have a few old Pentagon Hammers on sale for $500 each.
Maybe a strong minature tornado hit an Ace Hardware store close to the suicide site.
When the bomb went off the 16 penney nails were circuling the poor student and that caused them to penetrate the tree.
Regardless as you noted, it was just an accident or it didn't happen.
Fyi, a lot of interesting stuff in this thread.
