I agree that Cheema had to be extremely dense (which I doubt) to not know what was going on in that SMALL apartment.
Another interesting thing in the article is that the quote they have regarding the amount of TATP involved comes from an officer not even involved in the investigation - why even bother? His comments are nothing more than hearsay, why is it reported as if he was there and knew exactly what was taken out of the apartment that day?
All media sources reported on the day of the removal of the explosives that it required several trips by the bomb squad to safely remove it all due to its volatile nature. I would guess that needing several trips would indicate more of the explosive than enough to JUST blow off your hands. Also, witness descriptions of the detonation that Sunday night said it was quite loud - heard for miles and rattling windows all over Norman.
I also agree with your assessment regarding the FBI in Oklahoma. IMHO I don't think there's any hope that the FBI will ever fess up to the truth of the OKC (Murrah) Bombing. Seeing as they are so desperate to deny the connection in that case makes it hard for one to believe they are really pushing for a complete investigation into this one...
Thanks for the ping.
This new information only raises more questions. I remember the earlier articles with the supposed "one line of text" suicide note. Seems this article would lead us to believe there was more than one line of text. The wording is angry.
What's with the other material? Socks with wires, razors, etc.
Only questions....
Yes. It's just conceivable that it took all day to get the stuff out because they needed large and elaborate bomb removal equipment in case it went off in transit. But the early stories suggest a whole lot of explosives.
Enough to blow your hands off, sure. Plus the whole building, or a few hundred of your neighbors in the stadium. How to tell a lie by telling the truth: the fine art of equivocation.
