That being said, I believe Columbian terrorists use a tactic of attaching bombs to people.It sounds something like that kind of thing. Too bad they didn't get the bomb off the guy in time so he could tell what happened.

Sounds like a movie plot. And while I was watching that movie I'd be thinking "There's no way the cops wouldn't look for a bomb if the guy said he had one." Somebody ought to lose their job, probably a whole bunch of somebodies.
To: Springman
Thanks.
I'd like to know how it was attached around his neck, Locked on?

Just heard on FNC something about the bomb was "sophisticated in nature"

Just like in that movie Phone Booth with Colin Farrel. There's a dead pizza delivery guy in that one too, who is mistakenly believed to be the sniper in the movie.

FNC just had a WJET reporter and she was saying some of the victims last words.

WJET reporter via FNC: "Agents say they never seen a device like this."
Not good.

If someone put a bomb on me and told me to go rob a bank, and the bomb had a TIMER rather than a remote trigger, and I KNEW that, there's no WAY I'd go rob the bank. I'd go get help to get the thing off before time's-up!!!!! Yeah, I'd go for help. Robbing the bank just squanders any credibility you might have. My initial feeling is that this guy came up with a scheme and decided that since he was caught he might as well go out with a bang.

I expect the guy's story to fall in pieces after an investigationDon't you think that the whole point of the robbery is to GET AWAY WITH THE MONEY and NOT kill yourself in the process? If his story falls to PIECES it will only be after he blew himself into PIECES!

Looks like I misunderstood the story. It sounded to me like they ignored what he was saying. But they did, in fact, call the bomb squad.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
It seems to me that people are really using tortured logic to excuse the police from blatant cowardice in this incident. Obviosly the victim was innocent, because had he been the robber himself a fake bomb would have been employed - which would have been every bit as effective and much easiser to produce.

I just hit the mhking "Just Damn"
thread, someone posted an Artical saying it was straped to his chest. I'd think the police could have taken it off him. Maybe they couldn't take the chance??

and the most clever part of it all was to blow himself up to avoid suspicion??
To: em2vn
It may be that the Jihadists were using this man to fund their operation.
To: mikegi
Please explain how making oneself the immediate and only suspect is part of "the perfect crime".

"The bomb squad didn't arrive unitl After the bomb had gone off. Then just what are we looking at in this picture?
