The Norman Transcript (newspaper) reported last night that a person who "responded" to the blast heard it 4 miles away.
I agree with you. We don't want to overreach and jump to conclusions, but there are several things about this event that just don't seem right. One of the main ones is what you said. They are releasing absolutely nothing about who the bomber was, even speculation. Even if identification would be difficult for a while (could be), you'd think there would be SOME information by now.
And there is nothing in the newspaper reports from last night with even speculation about who it was. In fact, the Tulsa World is treating the entire thing as a minor event. There seems to be an implicit assumption that it was a student, but that's never stated. We'll see if there continues to be a blackout of information about the id of the individual.
Remember these news reports from last month?
American Al Qaeda Member Warns of New Attacks on U.S.
Report Warns "Great Ramadan Offensive" Coming in October
That's the parking garage for the stadium.
See #1451
Wow, what a way to terminate selfhood!
Anyone find photos of the blast aftermath?
Yahoo has silch.
Thats the Asp Aveneu Parking Center.
hmmmmmmm....interesting
Nope, just the people milling around, the yellow crime scene tape and the explosives detonating robot.
Muslim terrorists and soldiers on the battlefield supposedly are exempt from Ramadan.
So far there is not much to report it seems. Last night people were ready to call this the next 9/11. I have a feeling it was some nut who blew himself up and not much more..."good Bye cruel world . BANG "!
Right, same thoughts I have.
but it isn't Ramadan yet....that's the point...
Remember how CNN chose to call the Beltway Sniper "John Allen Williams" instead of his legal name, John Allen Mohammed?
Q. What goes clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop BANG BANG BANG clip-clop clip-clop?
A. An Amish drive-by shooting!
Cheers!
"At a minimum you'd think there would be speculation in the media about why some American college kid blew himself/herself up during a football game - this is totally unusual."
I think that's the important point. The news channels love to show a runaway car chase in LA, but so little curiosity here. Hmmmmmmmmm
