Sorry... "6 days earlier" should read "4 days earlier". The incident reported by 18wheeler happened on 10/03/05.

Yep, that's another interesting case - especially right on the heels of the OU Bombing... In that case it appears to be "left-wing" anti-war/anarchist leaning people. What's even more interesting is that one of the guys arrested is the son of the lawyer representing the OU Student Dreyling who was arrested back in August for bringing explosives into the Will Rogers World Airport in OK. You can see a summary of the investigations into that case as well as court affadavits
here.
Then just the other night (10/24) there was an
explosion in Choctaw, Oklahoma (about 30 miles from Norman) that they are investigating... You can read about it on this
FR THREAD, and also at my blog;

The American public doesn't want to believe it could happen, the FBI doesn't want to admit it happens, and the MSM doesn't want to report on it either! Works out perfectly for those who wish to cause us harm...Wow, that's it exactly! And the American public who doesn't want to believe it could happen ends up being the victim of the results, whether or not they want to believe it. If only there were some way to wake people up...

Explosives examined
2 juveniles suspected in investigation of incident at Westwood apartment
By Richard Clough
DAILY BRUIN SENIOR STAFF
rclough@media.ucla.edu Los Angeles Police Department officials said Tuesday that two juvenile suspects are being sought in connection with the incident involving an explosive device found Oct. 7 on the 500 block of Midvale Avenue.
Officials also said police consider the suspects to pose no threat and their actions as tantamount to "some kids playing around," said Sgt. Katherine Plows of the LAPD.
Authorities would not say whether the suspects are believed to be UCLA students or if they have any UCLA ties.
Responding to a call made at 11:13 a.m. Friday, authorities arrived at 527 Midvale Ave. to find an improvised explosive device made from two M-80 fireworks taped together, Plows said.
One of the fireworks was detonated but the other was a dud, she said. M-80s are illegal in the United States.
Though several residents said they heard a small explosion sometime between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. that morning, the police were not called until a resident found the device several hours later in the open-air courtyard within the Midvale Plaza apartment complex.
The LAPD bomb squad inspected and detonated the device shortly after 1 p.m. Friday.
While the bomb squad was working, a portion of Midvale Avenue around the building was closed to vehicular and pedestrian access, but no buildings were evacuated.
Residents of nearby buildings said they were aware of the incident taking place, but most said they did not feel afraid or threatened.
Authorities were not available to give updates on the case over the weekend or on Monday due to the Columbus Day holiday. Early reports from the LAPD on Tuesday indicated that two suspects may have been taken into custody, but those reports were later refuted.
Though FBI vehicles were on the scene, Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI, said the FBI was not involved with any investigation into the incident.

Yup.
John Walker Lindh is a troubled loner who had a hard time fitting in. As is Richard Reid. As is the Aussie convert in Guantanamo. As is that idiot in Maine.
White converts to Islam are, as a general rule, troubled loners.
Additionally, his father's denials are particularly hollow.
If his son was capable of blowing himself to bits like this, he was capable of converting to a religion which encourages such behavior.
I suspect that when he converted to Islam, the last person he would have told about it was his father.

Anytime officals come out in less than 24 hours with "This does not seem to be terror related", You can bet your sweet ass it is terror related. Also he was far from being alone at the time of the "suicide". It's also my understanding that the explosive he used was triacetone triperoxide/TATP, the homebrew choice of attempted airline shoebomber Richard Reid and numerous Palestinians who've blown themselves and sometimes others in *work accidents.* The nasty stuff has sometimes been referred to as the Mother of Satan and has been responsible for both intentional and accidental industrial explosions.
Accordingly, I'm not at all convinced that he intentionally triggered his device intentionally without intent of harming others in the stadium crowd.

for what reason?The "we be ignorant peasants crowd" may figure out there could have been radical towel-heads involved in the OKC bombing.

To: BurbankKarl
Another case of conflicting reports, eh? (o:
So, Sgt. Miller stated in the article you posted (from 10/13) that they were 2 m80s. Mr. Axson quotes an Officer Harding in his article on 10/19 that states they were grenades... I wonder who is telling the truth - and why would either of them lie (or do you think the officer was misinformed)? It's a pretty big jump from m80s to grenades, isn't it?

Yeah, especially the comment his father made when asked if Hinrichs would be involved with Radical Islamic types... "WHEN PIGS FLY" was his answer... I'm sure no pun was intended there.

Because blood will run in the streets if Americans become convinced that jihadis are here and actively committing terrorism.
This is exactly the reason the the press and gov. work so hard at covering up. Why are there NO pictures of 911? If citizens realize that war is here and the gov. is not interested in protecting it's citizens, people will realize that they must defend themselves. This clearly can not be tolerated.

This is an important story that keeps getting buried by the press and MSM... for what reason? The more I look at this, the more I'm convinced that the objective of the terrorists is to trigger generalized conflict in the US, and thus to radicalize Muslims in the US and elsewhere (more than they already are, that is)
The terror groups need a steady supply of committed jihaadis, which means they need a pattern of attacks and reprisals.
Bloody reprisals against Muslims, will drag in the Black Muslims, which will drag in non-Muslim blacks in a generalized race war. The major media don't want to see that happen

I hope and pray that people see this for what it is, a death cult. They prey on individuals who have an ax to grind. Islam gives such individuals a free ticket to commit crime without sin because Allah will forgive such actions as long as infidels are the victims. Giving license to the disaffected has been a recruiting tool for many revolutionary movements, including the Nazis and Communists. The goal of Islam is to overturn the existing order, and produce a new world order where the members of Islam shall rule
