Guess my research isn't needed? You're welcome, anyway. I can't keep up with two threads and pore over records at the same time.

Of course it's needed and Thank you, you're doing a great job! :)

Sorry to be grouchy, I just keep hoping someone will pick up some of this stuff and add to it, but no one ever does. Oh well! Thank you.

Not a problem. I'll add to that list sometime tomorrow. We now have his roomie's name and a named account indicating that Joe Jihad tried to enter the stadium at gate 6 but ran away after being asked to show his backpack.

OPINION: The more Boren speaks, the deeper the hole gets -- and he's digging the proverbial hole.

Thank you incons, but it's TEAM work here on FR.

"No terror ties found so far in bomb case"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NORMAN - The FBI has found no evidence so far that a University of Oklahoma student who died in a bombing Saturday night tried to get inside the football stadium or had ties to any terrorist organization, officials said Tuesday.

The FBI also has found no evidence anyone else was involved, officials said. Still, OU plans to tighten security at upcoming football games. Fans can expect bags and purses to be checked more closely.

“They should come a little earlier,” OU President David Boren said. “Be patient with us - know it’s only for their safety that we’re being very, very thorough.”

Fans also will not be allowed to leave at the half on passes and return.

Joel “Joe” Henry Hinrichs III is believed to have died in an explosion about 7:30 p.m. Saturday on a campus bench about 100 yards from the packed Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Investigators are treating the death as a suicide.

OU was playing Kansas State before more than 80,000 fans. The game was in the second quarter. The blast could be heard inside the stadium.

Explosives later were removed from the student’s university-owned apartment."

Sources ID TATP As Component Of [OU] Bomb (called 'Mother of Satan' by Islamist extremists)

"Sources Identify TATP As Component Of Bomb TATP Same Component Used By Infamous Shoe Bomber"

POSTED: 9:56 pm CDT October 4, 2005 UPDATED: 10:11 pm CDT October 4, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NORMAN, Okla. -- Sources confirmed Tuesday night that at least one of the components in the bomb used by Joel Henry Hinrichs III Saturday night was a product called TATP.

Technically, TATP is triacetone triperoxide. However, it's called the 'Mother of Satan' by Islamist extremists. Experts say it is made by mixing common household items such as drain cleaner and bleach to create a white powder with a strong smell.

It's so volatile that it can explode even if it's merely dropped. It can even explode spontaneously, experts say.

There have been very few reports of TATP being used in the United States; however, there have been more documented cases overseas -- including Richard Reid, who was arrested after he used TATP in his shoe and tried to light it on a flight."
