3 videos on the right-hand video listing. Summary:

Hinrichs spent time in the same Norman mosque as Moussaui

Ticket to Algeria was found linking back to his Pakistani roommate

5 others possibly involved

Hinrichs attempted to enter the stadium and may have had a ticket to the game

"I'm not an expert on suicides, but I just bet that the statistics would show that bombing oneself as a way of suicide (other than terrorists) is rare....and THAT has to be the biggest understatement of the century."

Is there any evidence that this guy had a grudge against jocks or football players? That played a role at Columbine, and it could have been a factor here. Just trying to explore all the possibilities . . .

Just in case future FReepers of the 22nd century try to connect these two suicides, here's a "gimmee":

FReeper Rte66 was enrolled in classes at both the University of Oklahoma in Norman AND Francis Tuttle Vo-Tech in OKC....AND managed not to off herself either place.

LOL!!!! I see you are as paranoid as I have become with some of the statements coming out.

[CharlieOK1]

a friend from a Sooner fan website I frequent said that his buddy "is contacting authroities about a fella sitting in front of them at the game of middle eastern descent, who spent the entire first half filming the crowd and taking pictures. said the guy paid no attention whatsoever to the football game. was annoying them."

For one thing, I don't think video cameras are allowed in the stadium. And two, it doesnt sound like he wanted to tape the game itself, more like the crowd...

I was wondering when someone was going to question buying a ticket for spring break. I thought everyone with access to computers had e-tickets now not a regular ticket which I assume this was. A guy from Pakistan is going on spring break to Algeria? Give me a break!

[OXENinFLA]

Yeah, I doubt there's a connection. I just thought it was kinda odd.

[MizSterious]

Are you listening to the President's speech on the WOT? Good speech, but I wish he'd give a few more examples of the terror that has already struck our country. Most people think 9/11 is it.

[Rte66]

Well, if they run in "threes," there's another one coming up.

My choice of people to send to the hottest places in hell (excluding the obvious groups such as rapists, murderers, etc.):

1. Sports agents.
2. ACLU lawyers
3. Cowardly college administrators.
4. Tailgaters
5. The Black congressional caucus
6. MSM journalists like David gregory
7. People who argue with store clerks about a 25 cent discount that didn't show up on the computer.

"I didn't know it, but just found out that when MizSterious took the photos, someone was not pleased and came out and glared at her."

Oh My Gosh! I hope with that seeing eye I saw on the light post she was in disguise.

He refused to submit to having his backpack searched, and fled. Three times. From what I've read on the other threads, Hinrichs got caught up in tightened entry searches during halftime, because of concerns about students entering the stadium with concealed alcohol.

Makes me wonder if he really committed suicide. I wouldn't be surprised if the cell masters didn't have a timer or remote detonator in case the carrier loses their nerve.

Perhaps after being refused admission, he decided to just wait for the crush of bodies, exiting after the game. Then while waiting, the timer caught up with him.

Thanks a lot, infowarrior. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

[PhiKapMom]

I am glad you posted that because I had heard that after 9-11 and figured it had stopped -- don't understand this at all. Approving student visas for people that are not students -- what's their rationale I wonder.

The border situation is serious but living here I think the student visa situation is even more serious as we have so many Middle Eastern types that are part of Hate America Religion of Peace.

The thing is that humans come in all kinds of color variations. Lee Malvo, for instance. He looks just like one of us, but he was an illegal immigrant.

I saw the pic that you're referring to. Sombrero, fez, and turban. From a distance, who can tell? Not to mention that if these guys are smart enough to learn to fly airplanes, they're smart enough to learn Spanish.

Be aware of the fact that Islamic recruiting has been going on for years in US prisons, primarily with African Americans. We are now also confronted with Anglo Muslims doing their dirty work.

"How many college students drive Lincoln Towncars?"

You need a big trunk to haul off all that ammonium nitrate. Might also be a good place to put a bomb.

"Call me crazy, but I believe that if only a single plane had been hijacked in 2001 and flown into the wtc tower (one of them), there would at least have been some effort to downplay the terrorist angle at first."

You're not crazy at all. I caught the 9/11 coverage just after the first plane hit and at that point they were talking accident. It all changed after the second one went into the second building so deliberately. Once the Pentagon got hit, everyone knew. If the terrorists had stopped at the first one, it probably still would be referred to as an accident today.

What's wrong with tailgaters?
Nothing like a good tailgate party before a Huskers game!

For anyone here that would like to kill some time and be brought up to date about info into the OKC bombing and the position posters took about if it was a cover up you might want to go herehttp://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b0a8b921a3f.htm This is over a 400 post thread that has been locked and it will not allow replys, however, it makes for some very interesting reading and a background into older Freepers.

"The message that has been sent, probably over and over, is that unless they succeed spectacularly, they will get NO credit, no publicity, no reaction from the american and european public."

I tend to believe that. One reason is that, apparently, no similar approach exists in England, where unsuccessful attempts to bomb buses got lots of coverage.
