Suicide Bombing in Okalahoma
Diminishing returns for Al-Qaeda?or just a really screwed up suicide? During an Oklahoma University football game, someone (unidentified) blew themselves up near a packed football stadium. University officials and police are playing it like one of those weird things that happens and are taking precautions. There's just one troubling bit:
According to Flopping Aces, there's a connection everyone's missing. Zacarias Moussaoui and Mohammed Atta went to school in the same city.
So, is there a connection? According to this, the bomber was an engineering student. Maybe so. But I can't help picturing Officer Barbrady (of South Park) announcing nothing to see here. The same report tells us: Parkview Apartments, 606 Stenson Drive, and Ashley Apartments, 1415 George Ave., were evacuated at about 7 a.m. this morning and may be connected to the suicide bombing Saturday night on the South Oval. They were looking for car bombs, the update says. University Pres. David Boren confirms there was no second device, but others say they heard a second explosion, which was earlier attributed to the detonation of a suspicious backpack. And most of the news reports are claiming a pipe bomb while people present say the explosion was too big for a pipe bomb (too hot, too little left of the bomber). (WideAwakeCafe had the second link) So, was it a screwed up suicide? Or something more? We may never know. If we rely on MSM alone, we never will... unless an anti-Bush angle can be found.
