Peach, thanks for this recap. I'm unable to find PhiKapMom's original post. We were away from the teevee last night, and we didn't hear anything about this until the 10 o'clock news. As you might expect, they downplayed everything. The claim is--no injuries, and just one death. They are calling it a suicide, NOT a suicide bombing. WHY does Oklahoma always do this?

Because there is no evidence that this was a botched terrorist attempt.
I see someone gave you her first post so I won't repost it.
Oklahoma has, sadly, a history of ignoring terrorism in their midst. They did this with the first OKC bomb.
For example, immediate interviews with people outside the Murray Building showed that people saw a Middle Eastern man walking away from Tim McVeigh and the truck and they described a distinctive tatoo on his arm. The tatoo is an exact replica of that worn by the Iraqi Republican Guard.
