Do you or does anyone know if the bomb had shrapnel or nails ect in it? That would confirm 100% that he wanted to take others with him. It is 99% confirmed already, but that would cinch it.
The Oklahoma Daily is reporting that area Muslims did not see Hinrichs visiting a particular local mosque, as some earlier reported. However, news reports have Boren attending a mosque somewhere.
I think you meant Hinrichs.....
"a stadium guard Saturday night told him "a guy had springed off" outside Gate 6 after refusing to let his backpack be searched."
I guess he meant "sprinted off?"
This stadium guard would seem to need some serious retraining, as to just what the purpose of his job might be, don't you think? Did he bother to report this? Was anyone made aware, outside of his gossiping after the fact?
BTTT
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like nothing new here except the pitch for visiting your blog.
Backhoe already started the same thing yesterday.

N'uff said. There are always these scumbag wierdos hovering around these mindless acts of violence.

From the Oklahoma Daily story >>>
Its considered very Middle Eastern, the way (Hinrichs) killed himself or tried to kill others, (Barakat) said.
In the words of an old Dixie Chicks song, "There's your trouble..."

I appreciate the thread. It's easy to follow. Several comments:
Your recap implies "the ingedient" TATP is not common in the United States. In fact, the source document says the ingredients of TATP are common househould items. It's usage, however, is uncommon in the United States. I think that's a significant distinction.
That several people were questioned shouldn't be interpreted, absent more information, as meaning much of anything. My understanding is that the relationship between these people (other than the roomate) was that they lived in the same apartment complex. Given the roomate was Pakistani, it would only make sense these Muslims would have known Heinrich ("our friend Cheeba's weird roomate"). That doesn't mean they had any involvement.
Why would these guys have stuck around if they were involved in a plot with Heinrich? Whether he blew himself up or someone detonated him remotely, accomplices living in the same complex who knew him would likely have scattered after such an incident. Perhaps they figured it looked sufficiently like a not-so-old fashioned suicide that they weren't at risk. More likely, they weren't accomplices.
Kind of a "different" or unusual choice of vehicle for a 21 year old college student, at least one of his ethnic group.
No "normal" person commits suicide by blowing himself up in public with a backpack full of explosives. Yet that is the official story regarding Joel Henry Hinrichs III, who was killed Saturday night in an explosion outside the University of Oklahoma's football stadium, where 80,000 fans were watching a game.
For surely, in the absence of compelling evidence to the contrary, anyone who blows himself up in public near large crowds of people should be presumed to be a terrorist, not a bizarrely suicidal college student.
