I have been hearing it along with the fact that the local media is not officially reporting because they cannot get their sources to go on the record. No one wants to be quoted. Scarey. Keep us posted!

Check out #4026! If this was a lone suicide, the FBI would have ended this investigation right away not taken over as the lead agency IMHO.

You have been one of the FEW who has been reporting: My opinion?

The bomber WAS a jihad's (-1 sp) - though not Muslim-born/bred. Perhaps not even Muslim himself, but "Converted" to such a hatred of Bush/right-wing causes (while at school) by his professors (hence the college president's immediate coverup and apparent foreknowledge of his mental state!) that he wanted to become a suicide bomber himself.

Out of hatred? Out of desire for attention? Fear?

Also: Likely that the bomber either chickened out (got depressed and DIDN'T enter the stadium)

or saw the inspection of handbags/backpacks and choose not to enter

or was talking to (supposed Muslims) seen running away before the explosion and mis-set the timer

Or goofed up and blew up early by slipping his hand away from a dead-man switch

or got sabotaged (by his fellow conspirators) and was blown up BEFORE he expected to blow up. One very effective tactic in Israeli anti-bomb efforts is simply making the bombers wait in lines for irregular times: and the half-time was late: when he could have walked/run into the middle of the stadium while the bands were moving equipment through gates normally locked.
