Following up on the OU bombing
I appear to have done football fans a very serious wrong in the post below where I inferred that this had been a football inspired bombing. Instead, it appears that the bomber was most definitely not motivated by his love of the ole pigskin.
What is now known about the bomber:
He attempted to buy a large quantity of fertilizer explicitly for the amonium nitrate a few days before the bombing.
The bomb contained TATP, which is rarely encountered in the US.
His roommate was Pakistani.
He frequented the same mosque as once attended by Zaccarias Moussaoui. (video)
