Click here for article on bomb going off at another campus today
I am sure it is just college kids playing with explosive and being college kids.....(/sarcasm)
This is starting to look like a pattern.
Ammonium Nitrate.
Don't they have editors in Nebraska?
Aluminum Nitrate might make a pretty cool bomb, I don't know. But I do know it was Ammonium Nitrate that he tried to buy.
That's the first I've heard of him being Palestinian as well.
Look...we had a few agents in that beehive. Thats why they are laying low...they cant come out and say theyve penetrated it and didnt do anything....this wacko in the cell slipped through the net.
Yes, you're right. Pretty bad mistake on the writer's part. Add that he is the only one reporting that Cheema was a "Palestinian" and it starts making him look pretty unreliable as a source in this case.
I know, a few of us "die-hards" left at this point, but that's alright. I'll do what I can to put out there what I've gathered, but I'm pretty sure in the long run it'll just become another chapter in the "conspiracy theory" files...
That's for sure...
I'm back here Grampa... (o:
You are probably right about that.
LOL yep, pretty bad error on the writer's part with that one.
Maybe because it was pretty obviously a suicide. (Is anyone suggesting this WASN'T a suicide?)
I suspect Hinrichs is just the first of many suicide bombers to come. With any luck, all of them will be as inept as he was. (And, just so there's no misunderstanding, any of you "homicide bomber" ideologues can just keep it to yourselves, okay? It's nothing short of stupid. Tim McVeigh was a "homicide bomber.")
At any rate, I fail to see how calling it a suicide is some sort of a "mystery." Perhaps I'm missing something.
Thanks for putting the link up on this thread. I read about that whole situation before posting these articles today. Said there were 3 devices found and they are treating it as a "terrorist act". Interesting is that they mention "2-liter bottles" - the same type of plastic bottles confiscated from Hinrichs' car.
He tried unsuccessfully to enter the stadium at least 2 times. Which makes him at the very least an "attempted" homicide bomber. This is reported by student Adam Smith, and apparently 9 news has also interviewed the security guard and he has confirmed, although I've yet to personally see that interview.
As far as the "so quick" call... the "lone suicide" report was released by OU within 1-2 hours of the event. Add with that the report of a second backpack found in the parking garage containing explosive materials and it makes it pretty clear that this wasn't a clear-cut suicide.
To see all of what's been reported so far, you may wish to read my summary which is linked in a post up the thread a little.
Either that, or they don't want to scare off future foreign students. I wouldn't want to go to OU if I was a peace-loving Muslim in light of all the connections that are has had to terrorists in the past... Who knows at this point - perhaps they have undercover ops that would be exposed if they reported all that they knew as well.

Me too, this is the first I've heard of a Palestinian. Wonder where that came from.
