The OU Daily newspaper reported that within a very short time after
Hinrichs’ death, the FBI picked up and interrogated Fazal Cheema, an OU
Arabic instructor Hossam Barakat, and two other Arab students who were all
attending a party or small gathering together. OU student TV reporter
Rachael Kahne is quoted in an article by distinguished journalist Michelle
Maulkin’s as saying that “Minutes after the explosion, police busted into a
student’s apartment and arrested four Muslim students who were there for a
small gathering.Among those arrested was Fazal Cheema (later released), Joel
Hinrichs Pakistani roommate.”
Rachael Kahne should be taken seriously because she is an OU student who is
a TV reporter in OU’s media journalism department that prepares a TV
magazine program aired locally, “News for Norman.” Her statements reported
by Maulkin also suggest prior warning or knowledge by authorities. The
presence of the FBI, BATF, and Terrorism Task force so quickly on scene
before the game was over and to detonate the backpack also contributes to
suggestions of prior warning or investigation.
Thanks! I don’t think I have read that piece of information specifically before, although the name of the girl sounds familiar to me.
SIDENOTE:
I don’t know if you’re aware - I’m guessing you probably are, but I thought just in case, and for those who aren’t or forgot I have a Comprehensive summary about the OU Bombing and the Investigation, along with a HUGE collection of old articles, resources, etc... at my blog: http://libertyrocks.wordpress.com/focus/oubombing . Please note it has not been updated in several years now, and the download links if they haven’t been used lately might be missing their files (deleted at the host for inactivity).
I know FReeper Backhoe has put together a huge ongoing reference thread here at FR as well which might have more recent information I don’t have at my blog (haven’t checked it in a while): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1497194/posts
You may want to add your post to that thread too, if it wasn’t covered there already. :) I’ll check through my stuff and add info. about it (with credit to you if I do).
