NORMAN, Okla. -- Police detonated a suspicious package at a University of Oklahoma parking facility late Tuesday afternoon, officials said.
Officials said that nobody was hurt when police detonated the package at the Asp Avenue Facility, which is a six-level parking structure located west of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
There is no word as to what the package contained.
Seems Moussoui and Berg went to OU at the same time and Berg let Moussoui use his computer to send e-mails.
Another thread about it is here, and a CNN story about the connection is here
This old lady is thankful for just logging on and checking my email and FR.
Is this Groundhog Day?
It is a word but not appropriate.
Probably a Husker fan.
Norman Bomb Squad does a thorough search of the campus area surrounding the stadium and in the stadium prior to a home game and from what I heard this was found in that search. They go over the same area more than once. Any suspicious package is blown up so if someone bought something at the OU Bookstore and forgot it, it is history.
The University has purchased all the buildings and land where the mosque and other related businesses were located to build 'something' which has not been disclosed.
There is more on the original bombing which will probably come out someday, but it has made me back off on my original thoughts about Pres Boren and why he came out like he did.

Hello, PhiKapMom
How wonderful to see you again..
As an alumnus (veteran? survivor?) of the original OU (Norman) bombing thread, I remember your invaluable reporting and input.
I'd certainly like to hear how your thinking has changed over the year since those events.
Regards

You have freep mail!
You mean the "mosque" as that property on Lindsay at George, like going towards the Duck Pond, but on the south side?
Is the mosque gone? If not, *will* it be?
OU bought up everything including the mosque and O'Connell's along with all those little stores so that they own everything from the campus apartments which are being torn down to the campus. Fire station is being move over to I think it is Constitution and Norman is giving the land to OU in exchange for helping build a new fire station with the land.
O'Connell's is looking to move into Al's and Al's is looking to move to the city is the rumor.
Wow. Saw this headline and thought it was perhaps an inaccurate follow up article from last year. Definitely interesting.
I was hoping many from the original threads would be names I saw once I began reading the thread.
But now I'm REALLY interested after your comment (changing thoughts about the response last year). If you post more about that, please ping me!
You have freep mail.
Thanks, hope to be there sometime in the future to see all that.
You can freepmail me on the same subj, please!
