Explosion outside college football game
Authorities: One killed, apparently a suicide

NORMAN, Oklahoma (AP) -- One person was killed in an explosion near a packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma on Saturday night in what authorities said appeared to be a suicide.

The blast, in a traffic circle about 100 yards from Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, could be heard by some in the crowd of 84,000, but university President David Boren said no one inside the stadium was ever in danger.

"We are apparently dealing with an individual suicide, which is under full investigation," Boren said in a statement. There was no information about the person who was killed, and no reports of any other injuries.

A police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast. The area near the stadium was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.

Jaclyn Hull, an OU freshman who left the game shortly before the explosion, said she saw "a little bit of smoke, about as much as you would see coming up from a grill."

Officers cordoned off an area west of the stadium after the explosion and nobody was allowed out of the stadium for about a half-hour after the blast, which occurred shortly before 8 p.m., about halftime of the Sooners' game against Kansas State. The game continued.

I know the Sooners are bad this year, but that seems a little drastic.

Maybe he just didn't like traffic circles.

Suspect's Apartment located Near the Islamic Society of Norman, OK
Bombing Was Indeed a failed "Domestic Terrorist Attack"

By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

2 October 2005; 11:50 p.m.: Law enforcement sources close to the Northeast Intelligence Network have confirmed that search and seizure warrants were served today upon the residence of the “suicide bomber, 21-year-old Joel Henry Hinrichs III of Colorado Springs, CO, who was a resident of the Park View Apartments on campus. Speaking strictly “off the record,” the officials stated that they recovered “a significant amount” of Islamic “Jihad” type literature, some possibly written in Arabic, along with the suspect’s computer. Some of the documentation included material on how to construct bomb-making vests.

Further reports by the same officials indicated that the bomb was detonated prematurely when the suspect was either arming a bomb vest or backpack, which contained TATP, a homemade explosive. TATP (triacetone triperoxide) is a very potent but relatively easily manufactured explosive compound that was used in the July London bombings. It is important to note that TATP has been cited in numerous Jihad bomb-making manuals.

The same officials, requiring anonymity as the investigation is ongoing, continued to confirm that “other un-detonated explosive devices were found in the area cordoned off by police and federal officials.” Those devices WERE NOT DETONATED, but carefully confiscated for further forensic testing. Initially, information provided to the Northeast Intelligence Network suggested that that the so-called “suicide-bomber” was attempting to attach bombs to the buses parked in the area when one of the bombs detonated prematurely. The investigation has expanded into the possibility that others might have been involved.

MANY PATHS SEEM TO INTERSECT IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA

In early July 2000, Mohammed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi visited the Airman Flight School in Norman, Oklahoma.


On or about 29 September, 2000, Zacharias MOUSSAOUI contacted Airman Flight School in Norman, Oklahoma using an e-mail account he set up on September 6 with an internet service provider in Malaysia.


On or about 26 February 2001, Zacharias MOUSSAOUI opened a bank account in Norman, Oklahoma where he deposited approximately $32,000 in cash.


Between 26 February 2001 and 29 May 2001, MOUSSAOUI attended the Airman Flight School in Norman, Oklahoma, ending his classes early.


And more recently...26 September 2005: A University of Oklahoma student charged with bringing an explosive device to an airport pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in federal court in Oklahoma City. Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr. of Norman, Oklahoma faces up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine at a future sentencing hearing. Dreyling, 24, was arrested in August at the Will Rogers World Airport after security personnel noticed a suspicious object in his carryon bag as he was leaving for a family vacation with his parents. He later told FBI agents the device -- a modified carbon dioxide cartridge filled with gunpowder -- was "basically a pipe bomb," according to court papers that he had forgotten was in his bag. (Former Oklahoma City, OK Mayor Kirk Humphreys-- who was also DREYLING'S landlord-- spoke on behalf of DREYLING at his bail hearing).

On a bus trip to the University of Oklahoma, Zacharias MOUSSAOUI was on the same bus as Nicholas BERG, the American man who was beheaded in Iraq in 2004 by Islamic terrorists. At some point on that trip, MOUSSAOUI asked BERG if he could use BERG'S laptop computer. Government sources said BERG gave the MOUSSAOUI his computer password...

September 11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah’s ticket (United Airlines Flight 93) was purchased from a computer terminal at Oklahoma University.

ISLAMIC TERRORISTS IN THE U.S. HEARTLAND ALLEGED TO BE COMPLICIT, REPORTEDLY "USED" HINRICHS

By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

5 October 2005; 00:15 AM EDT: According to confidential sources close to the University of Oklahoma bombing probe, HINRICHS was just one of several others involved in a much larger, much more sinister and pre-planned terrorist plot in the war of Islamic terrorists versus the West in a bombing plot designed to kill innocent Americans, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the details of the investigation but speaking on the condition of anonymity.

In a story that received virtually no media attention since the Saturday “lone suicide bombing" at the O.U. football stadium packed with 84,000 fans, details are emerging that a larger-scale Islamic terrorist operation was to revisit America's heartland for the second time in a decade. Initially, the reports were conflicting, than were manipulated to downplay the threat posed to the backbone of Americana to avoid piercing the false veil of security due to the “apparent lack of any successful Islamic terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11.”

The Northeast Intelligence Network has received exclusive information from reliable law enforcement sources that the explosion that killed 21 year-old O.U. student Joel Henry HINRICHS III was to be much larger and was part of a much more deadly planned attack targeting the fans in the packed stadium. In the style reminiscent of the blast at the Murrah building that killed 171 people on 19 April 1995, it was also confirmed that HINRICHS attempted to purchase a large quantity of the fertilizer ammonium nitrate, the very same compound that was used in the Ryder truck bomb just miles from where the Murrah building once stood, and a favorite bomb component used by Middle Eastern terrorists.

”It appears that HINRICHS was part of a larger plan that included members of an Islamic terrorist cell based in and around the Norman and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area. As a Caucasian, it was much easier for him to obtain the materials needed to create a large bomb, act in concert with members of the local terrorist cell, and strike when relative calm was the word of the day,” stated this source.

The source added: “Federal authorities are investigating HINRICH’S roommates, friends and companions, some from Pakistan, who were on a watch list of potential terrorists in that area. Sources of funding and financing are also under investigation, and arrests are very possible. Thankfully, more than a few things went wrong, but the failed plan left HINRICHS holding the bag in the end – literally,” added this source. “Otherwise, we could have had a bombing on the scale of Oklahoma City in 1995.”

O.U. Suicide Bomber Funded by Radical Islamic "Terror Cell" In Norman, Oklahoma
"FOLLOW THE MONEY"

Long-standing ACTIVE Islamic Terror Cell Behind HINRICHS’ Activities

Attempted O.U. Mass-Casualty Bombing Event Peripherally Linked to 1995 Murrah Bombing

HINRICHS reportedly financed in part by Islamic Terrorists in Norman & OKC
By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

7 October 2005; 0400 ET: Found among the items removed from the Park View apartment shared by Joel Henry HINRICHS and Fazal CHEEMA was at least one ticket to the country of Algeria scheduled for a date subsequent to the University bombing. (It is important to note that there are conflicting reports regarding the number of tickets). Also found were a variety of explosive materials and other items that would facilitate this and perhaps other terrorist operations. So was computer equipment and “unique” items of significant monetary and operational value that will be identified later, thus avoiding potentially compromising an ongoing federal investigation.

From the lessons of “Investigations 101” to the experience of the most seasoned investigator, an important rule in performing thorough investigations that lead to those ultimately responsible for orchestrating a crime, or in this case, a terrorist attack, one must “follow the money “trail. It sounds much easier than what it actually is, but it can and must be done – especially in this case. Why? According to confidential sources close to this investigation, preliminary findings suggest that the money trail leads directly to a known and active Islamic terrorist cell that has been in operation in the Norman and Oklahoma City, OK area for at least the last 10-15 years, preceding and tangentially involved in the bombing of the Murrah Building on 19 April 1995.

HINRICHS was somewhat of a “kept” man who sporadically attended school over the last 18 months, and whose activities during this time are under scrutiny, as are the activities of his companions and associates, some interviewed by federal authorities but released without obvious encumbrance. Virtually estranged from his family, HINRICH found companionship and direction by those who preyed upon him and used him as a Caucasian recruit for the Islamic terrorist cause. His case is a textbook example of the recruiting techniques that have been and continue to be used by Islamic terrorists operating in the U.S. and schooled by jihad instructional material found on obscure locations on the Internet, and in the back rooms of Islamic centers from the dusty corners of Saudi Arabia to the streets of Brooklyn.

When HINRICHS walked into the feed store two days prior to the bombing, he was intent on purchasing a large amount of ammonium nitrate, the same component used in the 1995 Murrah Building blast. The attempted fertilizer purchase, travel plans, bomb components, and other items - some found and others yet undiscovered - represent the antithesis of ”economic reality” of a financially challenged 21 year-old sometime college student. Regardless of his placement in life, HINRICHS was being provided the money and means to accomplish the much larger objectives than took place last Saturday night. The money trail will be yet one more piece to a larger puzzle that will implicate a number of Islamic terrorists located in the Norman area – and the “Islamic groups” that have been and continue to be financing terrorism in the U.S. and abroad.

The money trail has been well established, and is quite familiar to the FBI that has “investigated” the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing. (In fact, it is outlined in The Third Terrorist, the most comprehensive investigative report written by best-selling author Jayna Davis on the 1995 bombing that is available to the public). It is time that the financing or the terror in America’s heartland is acknowledged, exposed and most importantly, stopped. It is about time for the American public to receive answers, take the politics out of the war on terror, and acknowledge that we are war with an enemy who does not play by the rules of political correctness.

Important Clarification: Anonymous vs. Confidential Sources

To those who appear to be confused between confidential sources and anonymous sources, please take note. Numerous posters on popular Internet forums, blogs and other sites have erroneously confused the two distinctly different types of sources, painting both with the same brush and dismissing both as “unreliable.” Simply put, the Northeast Intelligence Network does not use or rely on information provided by “anonymous” sources – or those who are unwilling to provide their actual identity to us so we can verify their credentials and other important information. We DO use “confidential sources, or those individuals who have a pressing need to keep their identity secret, a logical reason to avoid being publicly identified, perhaps because of their occupation, proximity to an investigation, or other legitimate purpose. They DO offer their identity to us, allow their identity to be checked, but ask not to be identified. Although we know who they are and have verified their information, we honor their request to keep their identity secret.
