Makes no sense at all.
Unless they were living in rather more spacious quarters than most college kids are accustomed to, how would it be possible not to know what his roommate was doing, and accumulating.
And wouldn't all that stuff smell pretty bad? I wouldn't want to live in a room with all those explosives/chemicals, and I think I'd notice!
I haven't heard jack on either KRMG or KFAQ. Michael DelGiorno, our local crusader for Truth, Justice, Equanimity, Righteousness, Nobility, Humility, Charity, Chastity, Forebearance, Courage, and a whole bunch of other virtues too, obviously just doesn't know about this story. Someone oughta pick up the phone and call him.

One of these was found in my Brother-in-Law's apartment after he died from an epileptic seizure, made the front page of the local paper. They called the bomb squad and everything. He was a pay telephone repairman and had found it on a telephone he was repairing. He took it to his boss and his boss told him he could keep it. He was a just a packrat, not a terrorist, but you couldn't tell it by the headlines, we thought it was funny.
KFAQ does surprise me. I expect better from them.
Why is KRMG so quick to bury this? Do they have a lib track record?
P.S. I listen to KFAQ often from out-of-state (they have a strong signal).
Good points, all.
Funny, tho', isn't it, the pervasive prevalence of Pakistanis in the worldwidejihad.
btt
Repeat after them: ISOLATED INCIDENT, EMOTIONAL TROUBLE, WHITE KID...now move on and shut up about it!
All I could speculate about KFAQ is that they're the local broadcaster for OU games. Personally, I don't see why that should be a problem unless they're being leaned on by the University or other interested parties. Let's get the truth out and then play ball. That's just me, though.
Interesting development. OU tightens security after whacky, quiet, well-adjusted student with room full of explosives, accidently blows self up with bomb belt in crazy, non-islamic type experiment because he tinkers and is inquizative. No danger. Just go back to what you were doing!

BTTT.
He gets to graduate too!
And how about that Kirk Humphreys?
BTTT!!!!!!
If you have time, maybe you can e-mail him or Dodge.
Of note .... my own observations regarding Pakistani student communities. From personal experience.
Doesn't make a blip on the national news.
Suicide bombers in America? Using the same ingredient as the OKC bombing? Additional bombs were located but removed (they are not ruled a "threat" because they are in posession of authorities). Did they get all of them?
Was this a "lone nut"?
Aren't they all? Charles Bishop/Bishra, the LAX shooter, the DC snipers, the anthrax mailer...
And you are surprised....?
KRMG is at best a psuedo-conservative radio station.
FWIW-
I want my family safe. I want to be safe. I won't forget 9-11.
Actually I was being sarcastic. He has his own agenda, which is to be the local contrarian to our (inept and probably corrupt) City Hall.
