Engineering schools have lots of foreign students from India and China

Have you read the 9/11 report? I have. I actually didn’t find it overly political.

Who says this is the only attack of this kind?? Hopefully it was a lone killer, but Universities etc should be prepared for the worst. How better to hurt America than killing their your students?

It may be true, but keep in mind that the Chicoms would certainly use that as an excuse to execute anyone they wanted.

I don’t see any posts dissing the victims. Maybe I’m talking to myself here? Or maybe I’m not making myself clear in my posts? Whatever. Either way, I didn’t diss the victims and I haven’t read any posts here dissing the victims. I certainly don’t think I dissed any victims. Maybe I didn’t word my post correctly but I didn’t diss anyone.

I think we'll find some prior connection from him to that engineering building.

Rejected student, perhaps? Tried to apply and couldn't make the cut? Folks at places like UVa rag on Tech as a "hick" university because it's a land-grant school (like Clemson and Texas A&M), but it's got damn good engineering and science programs.

Does anybody remember the kid’s name who took the cell phone video...he was Palestinian, first name Jamal, said he had lived most of his life in Saudi Arabia.

Wolf Blitzer said he was from a well known Palestinain family. Was his last name Barghouti? If so could he be related to Marwan Barghouti? If that were the case, I might have to put my tin foil hat on, LOL!!!

Did anybody get his last name?

“Governor just declared a state of emergency in Virginia..CNN Why do that?”

Here’s my guess....

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,258012,00.html

BEIJING — Lawmakers from China’s restive western Muslim region said Friday that 18 suspects killed in a raid on an alleged terror camp in January had links to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Shi Dagang, a lawmaker from the Xinjiang region, also confirmed that 18 people from the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, or ETIM, died in the raid and 17 others were arrested.

“They had close connections to Al Qaeda,” Shi said at a news conference during China’s annual legislative session.

“There terrorists were trained by the Taliban in Afghanistan and sent to China by them,” Shi said, adding that more than 1,500 semi-assembled grenades were seized in the raid east of China’s border with Kyrgyzstan.

It doesn’t sound like he was targeting anyone. It sounds like he was going for numbers and then when cornered killed himself. Very Islamic.
