Suicide or Botched Terrorist Attack?

Blast kills one at University of Oklahoma
Police probe apparent suicide near packed football stadium

Simply a suicide? I don’t think so.
This person was 100 yards from a packed football stadium. The person used explosives, not sleeping pills, nor a gun, nor did they jump from a tall building. The person’s name has not been released. All of these facts point to an attempted terrorist attack that did not happen. Thank God. My guess is that the person was headed toward the stadium when the bomb they were carrying prematurely exploded. Of course, we may never know the truth because the federal government covers up just about everything these days. Why isn’t this bigger news? Why not large headlines splashed across the front of MSNBC’s homepage? Very curious…

If it was an attempted terrorist attack, the implications are immense. Was the person affiliated with a well organized terrorist group or acting on his/her own? Did the person obtain the materials for the bomb from the college, the community or elsewhere? Have more attacks been planned for college and/or professional sports events?

This event might pass as a suicide, but it if more occur over coming weeks, we have a very serious problem on our hands.
