The cops will says that he strapped it on himself.

Either that, or a passer-by made a little money by selling a photography to the media.

Truly a strange story. If he was forced to do this, and got away with it, the thugs would likely have killed him afterwards anyway.

But wait! I thought the police could ALWAYS protect us better than we could ourselves.

There's a reason why, when I used to deliver pizzas, I ALWAYS took along a "little surprise", company policy be damned. I didn't take an oath to die for Pizza Hut.

Truly a tragic, sad story, if the man was indeed the victim. There is no logical, sane reason why this man should not have had at least the option to protect himself, if his record was clean.

The news crew had time to respond to the emergency

In one of yesterday's threads, someone noted that the TV station home office is in the same street. They only had to go a couple of hundred yards.

"He pulled a key out and started a timer. I heard the thing ticking when he did it. It's going to go off. I'm not lying."

Why would the victim pull the key out himself and start the timer? This changes everything.

Very strange case. How was the explosive devise afixed to his body? It should have been quite obvious to anyone that movement was not what was designed to set off the device so why was no attempt made to remove it. Gotta hand it to the authorities at least they got everyone out of the way, including themselves. The pictures of the explosion must have been gruesome.

Did this guy give the police any details about the person who allegedly strapped this bomb on him? This story seems fishy.
