Stop lying.
Nice try but there is no comparison between OKC and this guy's actions or backgrounds. But I am sure that won't stop you from lying about it.
I'm not the one lying. I've seen useful idiots like you before, I'm sure you won't be the last.
YW. Just one more note ... LE found 9 more detonators already made, stored in a closet. I had read that the London bombers had 30 detonators made, which were found afterwards.
The media seems to have been mistaken when they reported that the TATP was "on the stove" and had been "cooking." The latest word was that it exploded when it was "moved" and another media source said "handled."
When they showed the inside of the gutted apartment on the news last night, there were empty 2-liter soda pop bottles everywhere on the floor and I remembered that Hinrichs also had lots and lots of them in the trunk of his car; don't recall whether they found a bunch of them inside his apt or not.
If the finished product is so volatile, I can't imagine that they put huge quantities of it in those bottles - or maybe they do, since the detonators are not in proximity. However, if heat, friction or movement can cause a detonation, seems to me there would be few things that *aren't* detonators.
I still don't get how Hinrichs walked around or biked around with it on his person without blowing up before he did.
Oh, also, they showed some people from the NYPD bomb squad down here visiting the site and taking lots of pictures - the voice-over said they were studying the case for help in dealing with terrorism.
This is almost deja vu all over again. I have heard that about TATP, and apparently, the older it is, the more unstable it becomes (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this). As for how Hinrichs moved it around as we know he did, it's possible that with his engineering background, he was more exacting in putting together his recipe--and his ME roommie might be the more experienced of the two, also. (We hear nothing else of the roommate...did he use that one way ticket to the middle eastern country?)
It wasn't his roommate who had the ticket. It was someone unrelated to the Hinrichs case.
It was a visiting OU professor from Algeria who was leaving to go back to Algeria the next day. He was among the people detained that night because the roommate, Cheema, had gone to a small party at another apartment in the complex and FBI wanted to question all of them who were there. It had nothing to do with Hinrichs. Cheema is Pakistani, not from Africa.
You are most certainly lying about where I obtain information. You are merely deluded as to the validity of yours.
It's true he could set it off by opening the container. However, given that the sound was easily heard inside a packed stadium (By hearwitness FReeper PhiKapMom!) means that it would have had to be a pretty large container.
Then there was all the other bomb making material found in his apartment. PhiKapMom also heard the detonation of that by the bomb squad, despite the bomb squads facility being some distance from her home. The stuff stinks too, I'd think that not only his roommate, but the neighbors in the nearby apartments would have smelled the stuff. By all reports most of the them were Muslims though, so maybe they didn't find the stench unusual, just somebody building a bomb.
Not the locals, the FBI. Living elsewhere won't help, unless it's Australia, but then again they have their own problems with "Lebanese" yutes.
Even the article admits there is *some*, that being the ticket takers who thought they saw him. It's weak evidence, but it is evidence
One must be careful of making absolute statements.
The ticket takers seem to have disappeared. Rumors of what alleged ticket takers MIGHT have seen or MIGHT have said are not evidence outside of Kangaroo Courts.
Key sentence: "We don't consider this terrorism the way we define it," he said.
