... An unknown assailant attacked the Shelby County medical examiner late Saturday, wrapping him with barbed wire and strapping a bomb to his chest before leaving him in a stairwell outside his downtown Memphis office ...
It sounds completely random to me. Nothing personal about it.

O.C. Smith is the person who conducted the autopsy on Don Wiley (the Harvard microbiologist). See this link, for example. I am not saying that there is a connection with these bombings. It's just a bit strange that the same name comes up again.

What the heck. Are they bombing the South? There was a bomb just planted at a power station here in Jax, FL, and another one was tried down in South FL a week or so earlier. The odd thing is that Jacksonville had had the first citywide power failure due to four odd occurrences at power stations just shortly before the failed bomb attempt (by a US soldier no less) It was posted on FR somewhere, although I don't think the other one in South FL was mentioned.

Wonder if the person wasn't pleased about the autopsy finding on the lady who was selling the i.d.'s to mid-eastern men? Sure does make a person wonder.

O. C. Smith received minor injuries from the attack

Look, I didn't like "Little Green Apples," either, but I wouldn't attack the guy over it.

People please...

This idiot has been sleeping with someone's wife.

End of story...

If it were Islamic extremists they would've killed him already.

Could this be Al Gore's idea of going back to Tennessee and "mending fences?" (sorry, couldn't resist it!)

His attacker threw an acid type substance on Smith's face as he left work at 1060 Madison around 10 p.m.

Who would do such a thing? Have you guys seen this story yet?
