The latest suicide bomber?
Maybe it's due to the distraction of Texas-OU week or perhaps it's just a sign of the times, but the fact that a suicide bomber nearly entered the University of Oklahoma's football stadium last Saturday night while 84,000 people were watching OU thrash Kansas State sure seems to be flying a bit under the main radar screens, at least outside of Oklahoma. The bomber -- Joel Hinrichs III -- detonated an explosive device while sitting on a bench about 100 yards from the stadium after he apparently rushed off upon being required to have his backpack searched at the gate. This Counterterrorism blog post does a good job of summarizing the background and implications of the event, as does the TigerHawk in this post.

I have heard that the OU Student newspaper has established a link between this disgruntled engineering student and Mack Brown.....
He didn't get into the stadium, but he sure blew hell out of a wooden bench near the library (along with himself).
Here's a link to the most recent story about the investigation in the OKC paper:
