Articles: The Bombing at the University of Oklahoma
It was on Saturday, October 1, 2005 when 21 year-old Joel Henry Hinrichs III, a college student at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK detonated a large bomb outside of a packed football stadium in America's heartland. The bomb was so large that it could be heard up to four miles away, yet many in America never heard a thing.
The following is a compilation of articles and accounts pertaining to the "suicide" - or more aptly, the Islamic motivated "suicide bombing" that took place at the Oklahoma University football stadium on 1 October 2005.
All articles are posted in REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, with the latest first. If you are unfamiliar with the incident, we suggest you read all previous articles first.
Search Warrant of O.U. Suicide Bomber" Unsealed
Found: Mixing bowls, a slow cooker, a thermometer, plastic containers, a hobby fuse, a circuit board, six tape rolls, chemic al s used to make TATP as well as the TATP
20 November 2005: The documents relating to the search of the apartment of Joel Henry HINRICHS III were made public Friday after U.S. Magistrate Valerie Couch ruled there was no further need to keep the records of the search of Hinrichs' apartment, e-mail account and nine OU computers sealed. According to the documents released, FBI agents found the same type of volatile high explosive used by the the now infamous shoe bomber Richard Reid, and in the suicide bombings in London inside the apartment of University of Oklahoma student Joel Henry HINRICHS III, who ended up blowing himself up outside of a packed football stadium.
Documents state that the FBI also discovered "explosive experiments and paraphernalia," including 0.4 pounds of a white powder that turned out to be triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, which is composed of hydrogen peroxide and acetone. The Northeast Intelligence Network was first to report the finding of TATP on the night of the bombing. HINRICHS died October 1 when an explosive device went off about 100 yards from Gaylord Family/Oklahoma Memori al Stadium where 84,000 people were watching a football game that evening. Federal agents also found mixing bowls, a slow cooker, a thermometer, plastic containers, a hobby fuse, a circuit board, six tape rolls, chemical s used to make TATP as well as the TATP in the apartment.
Despite the FBI's proclamation that Joel Henry HINRICHS simply wanted to kill himself, the items found inside of HINRICH'S apartment are consistent with items shown at a number of Islamic terrorist Internet websites and in many Islamic terrorist videos that teach bomb-making. As noted, TATP was identified as the same explosive compound used in the July 7, 2005 Islamic terrorist bombings in London. Islamic suicide bombers were identified as the perpetrators of those bombings. The FBI al so found Hinrichs downloaded from the Internet "numerous text and image files" on weapons and explosives, including one on TATP four days before his death, al though did not identify the websites explored by HINRICHS. One video on his computer depicted a lit match being placed above a white powder then a bright flash.
Authorities al so reportedly found a profane, single line "suicide note" typed on his computer. According to published reports, HINRICH'S laptop computer was still on and screen notes allegedly written by HINRICHS to himself were visible; at the cursor was a phrase that began with profanity and continued "[Expletive deleted] ... all this. None of you are worth living with. You can all kiss my [Expletive deleted]."
Black Hole in America's Heartland
--Douglas J. Hagmann, Director
30 October 2005: It was four weeks ago yesterday, Saturday, October 1, 2005, when America experienced an attempted terrorist attack outside of the packed Oklahoma University football stadium where 84,000 were in attendance. From the university president to the FBI to local and national politicians, the actions of Joel Henry HINRICHS III, the young man who detonated an explosive-filled backpack have been described as those of a despondent man with a troubled past, bent on killing only himself and completely unrelated to Islamic sponsored terrorism INSIDE the United States. Despite ample evidence to the contrary, the corporate media CONTINUES to ignore the influence of Islamic terrorism in America by failing to do their job - inform the American public the truth of this event.
In a CBN exclusive report published last week, however, more information was uncovered by Erick Stakelbeck, Washington Terror Analyst. According to a former neighbor of the Norman, Oklahoma Mosque:
"I did see Joel on several occasions outside of the mosque, actually, in the parking lot of the mosque," the neighbor said. "It wasn't in the yard, it wasn't behind the fence, it was always in the parking lot when I would see him. And there was one time when I passed him, actually, on the sidewalk. As soon as I saw the picture of Joel Hinrichs on TV, not the clean-shaven one, but the one with the beard, I knew immediately that that was the gentleman I had seen on several occasions."
It's been one month since this bombing attempt, and few in the media have bothered to report the FULL STORY of this incident, and the many terrorist paths that intersect in Norman, Oklahoma. When are we going to be told the truth about what is taking place in this country? It's been ten years since the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, OK, a blast that murdered 171 innocent men, women and children and the FBI still refuses to release all of the evidence that identifies Islamic sponsored terrorism behind that event.
Will it take another ten years before Americans are told the truth about this event? Based on experience, we are in for a long wait - unless we demand the truth sooner.
The Northeast Intelligence Network was the FIRST to report to the public that an explosive component of the backpack was TATP, the same compound used by "shoe-bomber" Richard Reid.
More information about this incident is contained in the HQ INTEL-ALERT twice-monthly newsletter scheduled for distribution to subscribers later today - early Monday morning.
The Stench from the University of Oklahoma President David Boren, PhD of Spin
--By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director
"BOREN is spouting his lone gunman theory like a stick puppet, perhaps doing as he has been told lest his controversial past become an issue. Meanwhile, the major media continues to ignore and avoid the malodor emanating from the President's office of Oklahoma University, preferring instead to feed pablum to pacify the American public." -- Doug Hagmann
The Latest on the O.U. TERRORIST Bombing
The Spin has Begun - "Real Story" Being Buried"
The most outrageous lies that can be invented will find believers if a man only tells them with all his might. -- Mark Twain
"Osama bin Laden's spiritual mentor Abdul Azam spoke in Oklahoma City advocating the killing of infidels, Jews and Christians. He was joined by Khaleed Mashaal, the chief of the political arm of Hamas." -- Jayna Davis, author, The Third Terrorist
11 October 2005: Ten years after the worst terrorist attack that took place on U.S. soil - the April 19, 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City that took 171 lives (168 men, women and children, and 3 unborn), and the cover-up of Islamic terrorist involvement as perfectly outlined by Jayna Davis in her book, the Third Terrorist, the American public continues to be left in the dark.
FBI Denies University Bomber Tied to Terrorism
CNS Article dated 11 October 2005
Excerpt: "Norman Police have confirmed that Hinrichs was briefly investigated days before the bombing when he tried to purchase ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Ammonium nitrate is the same chemical used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and killed 168 people."
Excerpt: "FBI agent Gary Johnson, who is heading the investigation from the bureau's Oklahoma City office, declined to confirm or deny that TATP was used in the bombing or was found in the subsequent search of Hinrichs' apartment.
The search lasted at least 24 hours but no information has been released concerning what investigators actually discovered -- Hagmann's confidential sources report finding TATP and "jihad materials" on his computer - because the search warrant was sealed by the Department of Justice.
When asked if the Northeast Intelligence Network's reports are consistent with the FBI investigation, Johnson said, "No," then added, Well okay the stuff that's found in his apartment, I can't comment on [be]cause it's part of a search warrant that's sealed."

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.

REPORT: OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY BOMBING WAS PLOT GONE AWRY: "OTHERS WERE INVOLVED"
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 of lives lost."

REPORT: O.U. BOMBER HAD ROOMMATES WITH ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST BELIEFS
By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director
4 October 2005: The last 12-18 months of the life of the University of Oklahoma Student Joel Henry HINRICHS III remains somewhat of an enigma, although one significant report has been confirmed by two student sources at the University interviewed by this investigator: HINRICHS had ties - close ties - with one or perhaps two men of Arab origin while attending the college in Norman, Oklahoma. This report was also further substantiated today by a law enforcement source no longer on the case (as the case is now being handled by federal authorities).
"Obviously, I cannot go on the record, but you are 'not wrong' in your findings," stated this law enforcement officer. "There is much more to come out of this [investigation], including the likelihood of Middle Easterners from this area being involved in this bombing," he added. "Right now, no one is talking, and we have been verbally ordered not to make any comments to any media - period."
When asked of the origin of the "roommates" or Middle Eastern men he referenced, this source simply stated "Pakistani." According to one university sophomore present at the game and a witness to the direct aftermath of the blast, HINRICHS indeed lived with one or two students from Pakistan, although it is not clear if both actually attended the university.
"At the end of the day, enough evidence will be collected to prove that this was a terrorist bombing that went wrong and Islamic men with terrorist beliefs were also involved. Whether that fact will ever come out, like ten years ago, [Murrah building blast on 19 April 1995 that killed 171 souls] remains to be seen." Obviously exasperated, the officer closed with the following statements:
"If you could have seen the people walking out of the stadium [Saturday night], you would have thought nothing happened at all. No one seems to believe that it will ever happen again, ever happen to them. It almost did. I feel like everyone is living in a fantasyland."
Do you want to know the absolute truth behind Islamic terrorism that has been covered up in Oklahoma? Do you really think that Islamic terrorists did not play a role in the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City that killed 171 people? This book is by far the unqualified BEST piece of investigative journalism that has ever been written about the cover-up in Oklahoma City - a cover up that continues to this day. This book is a MUST READ.

Oklahoma Bomber Had Jihad Material
By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director
4 October 2005: It was last Saturday night when 21 year-old Joel Henry Hinrichs III, a college student at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK detonated a large bomb outside of a packed football stadium in America's heartland. The bomb was so large that it could be heard up to four miles away and shattered windows in the George L. Cross building located about 100 yards from the blast.
This blast was undoubtedly one of the largest "silent bombings" in America, and except for media centers with journalistic integrity such as WorldNetDaily and a handful of other Internet news sources, the blast might have been muffled before it could serve as yet another wake-up call to a slumbering public suffering from general malaise and terror fatigue.

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.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - MUST SEE
This video compilation was taken on Saturday, 1 October 2005 of blast scene and on Sunday, 2 October 2005 of blast scene, suspect's apartment and search teams, bomb disposal units, and press conference by University President David Boren. It clearly illustrates the many contradictions of the various official accounts of this most troubling incident. Well documented by Lan Lamphere of Lamphere Photography.

The man who was killed in the blast has been officially identified by authorities as Joel Henry Hinrichs III (pictured at left) of Colorado Springs, CO., who was a student at the University. In a press conference by University President David Boren, HINRICHS was described as a student who had "emotional difficulties" and reportedly opted to take his own life "near a packed football stadium using an explosive attached to his body." Salvador Hernandez, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oklahoma echoed Boren's remarks. Boren further stated:
"We know that he has had what I would call emotional difficulties in the past. There is certainly no evidence at this point which points to any other kind of motivation other than his personal problems."

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...
