OU Bomber Revisited

Loading

Mark Tapscott has discovered an interesting article detailing how 3 Algerians have been arrested in Italy for plotting terrorist attacks inside the US. What makes this news interesting is the fact that they had planned to attack stadiums.

If you recall the name Joel Hinrich then this will click for you. Joel was the “suicide” bomber in Oklahoma who sat outside of a football game and blew himself up. At the time, and to this day, I believe this was more then a suicide. His roommate was Pakistani and just happened to have a ticket to Algeria in his possession. Coincidence?

ROME – Three Algerians arrested in an anti-terrorist operation in southern Italy are suspected of being linked to a planned new series of attacks in the United States, Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu said Friday.

The attacks would have targeted ships, stadiums or railway stations in a bid to outdo the September 11, 2001 strikes by Al-Qaeda in New York and Washington which killed some 2,700 people, Pisanu said.

The Algerians, suspected of belonging to a cell established by an Al-Qaeda-linked Algerian extremist organisation, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), were named as Achour Rabah, Tartaq Sami and Yasmine Bouhrama.

The first two were arrested Friday in the Salerno area south of Naples, and in Curingia, in the southern Calabria region, respectively.

Bouhrama, 32, had been in jail in Naples since November 15 in connection with another investigation of the GSPC. He is believed to be the head of the Salerno cell and to have liaised with other cells in Milan, Brescia and Naples.

The three in custody are also alleged to have procured false papers and funds to finance the GSPC, a hardline fundamentalist movement that rejects the Algerian government’s attempt to draw a line under years of Islamist rebellion.

Pisanu said Friday’s swoop was part of a wider operation involving other countries.

Links were uncovered between the GSPC’s Italian activities and groups in Britain, the Italian news agency Ansa reported.

As many of us pointed out when this thing happened the fact that Joel had a huge amount of explosives in his apartment, waaaayyyy beyond what he would need to blow himself us, the fact that his roommate was a Pakistani with a airline ticket to Algeria, the fact that Joel was seen at the mosque around the corner, the same one that Zacarias Moussaoui attended, the fact that radical Islamic material was found in his apartment, the fact that NOONE commits suicide by exploding, and you have to come to the conclusion that this was more then just a suicide bomber.

Now with news that indeed, a stadium attack was planned by Algerians, it’s even more apparent that this was a deliberate attempt to attack our country once again:

Mark Tapscott of the Heritage Foundation remarked, ?There are about 30,000 suicides in America unfortunately every year. And you can go back a decade, and you will not find a single one of those suicides who blew themself up in proximity, close proximity, to 84,000 people at a football game.?

Tapscott and other online bloggers have questioned Hinrichs? true intentions. They point to his Pakistani Muslim roommate and the location of his apartment?just one block from the Norman Mosque.

It is the same mosque that convicted 9/11 plotter Zacarias Moussaoui attended when he lived in Norman. As for Hinrichs, a spokesman for the mosque told us he had never seen him there.

I have 12 posts about this subject, check them out along with my liveblogging timeline of the event. Thanks to Tapscott for connecting this information, great work.
