Saturday night a suicide bomber blew himself up near a packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma. One person (the bomber) is dead and five others are injured. So far, as expected, there are very few details and the accuracy of many things is in question. The police are supposedly seeking two suspects described as middle-eastern that fled from the scene. There appears to be reason to believe that the bomb went off prematurely, and that the intent was to kill people as they exited the stadium after the game. There are rumors of a second bomb which the police found and the bomb squad detonated.

Reports are mixed. Some say it was an individual suicide while others say terrorism is suspected. I'm not drawing any conclusions... This story can be expect to develop.

If this was in fact a botched terrorist attack, would it make more sense to downplay it or make a big deal about it?

As the post points out, there are a number of connections between Norman, Oklahoma and the 9/11 terrorists.

Update: The bomber has been identified. Authorities are saying it was just an individual suicide. However, it seems confirmed that there were two bombs. Why would someone who was only trying to commit suicide in a flamboyant manor have two bombs? That implies at least two people and premeditation to kill more people than just himself. Strange. Also, nothing more about the two people the police were said to be searching for.
