Oklahoma suicide....bomber?
A rumor has been going around the blogs and just recently made it to the news that the Oklahoma student, Joel Henry Hinrichs III, who blew himself up on Saturday near a football stadium may have been a suicide bomber.
There is some evidence to support this claim.
Authorities say they found "Islamic jihad" materials.
An officer said he seemed very suspicious while attempting to buy fertilizer (which can be used in explosives)
He was near a football field during a game when the device went off. This suggests that he may have tried to take others with him.
Of course I would not cry "foul play" until authorities confirm it. It is equally possible that Joel was a lonely guy who wanted to blow himself up but also wanted attention so he did it next to a stadium. And the reason he looked suspicious when he went to buy the fertilizer is because he knew he was about to blow himself up.
