[Indianapolis - The FBI says it does not suspect a terror plot on the city's northside, but police want to know why a man stored and mixed chemicals in his apartment and had al-Qaida literature.
At the suspect's apartment near 96th and College crews pack the stores of cleaning and other chemicals found inside.
And the sheriff has moved the suspect from court to jail
They're holding Joseph Bagley for 72 hours, that could give police more time to check the computer the took from his apartment.
Capt. Phil Burton of the Marion County Sheriff's Deptartment says police also found, "A lot of hazardous chemicals, a gas mask, some literature about al-Qaida, about Saddam Hussein and how to make bombs. He admitted to mixing several chemicals and in so doing used his gas mask and exhaust fan."
At the lock up, a released prisoner who talked to Bagley told us, "He said he wasn't making bombs, he said there was carpet cleaner out. He said that whosever was cleaning his apartment was just terrified of everything laying out. (It) Didn't really look dangerous at all."
"This doesn't sound like any kind of international criminal conspiracy, it sounds like a lone operation involving one person," said Professor Douglad Woodwell of the University of Indianapolis. "There is definitely an inspiration al-Qaida offers to a lot of people around the world these days. They can perhaps play their own role in an epic battle."
And professor Woodwell says he could very well be a guy who just likes mixing chemicals.
The suspect's charged with criminal recklessness for having the chemicals in the apartment. He's a former electronics student with no criminal past.
WTF?

"The FBI says it does not suspect a terror plot..."
If I only had a nickel for every time I've read that....
Joe, them's some powerful pancakes you're mixing up there.

I thought I was reading something from scrappleface?
Are the law enforcement that flaming idiotic?
Don't other people wonder, how mere hours after something happens, the press reports it as truth? Most likely it's some subordinate official saying the equivalent of, "we don't suspect any one motive at this time."
Maybe he was just a disturbed young man planning to commit suicide by blowing himself up outside a crowded football stadium.
Electronics student, chemical mixer, Muslim literature...Yeh, just any everyday guy.
To quote Jim Traficant.
"The FBI and CIA are so stupid they could throw themselves at the ground and miss."
No reason to slam your mind shut to the possibility that this guy is simply nuts.
And terrorists are not nuts?
Some similarities to the OU bombing...
Probably not pursuing any career, just wanted instruction on timer circuits.
And he's NotATerrorist™ too, just like Hinrichs. I wonder if Bagley's apartment was located near anything especially interesting?
