Fits Him To A 'T'? (Univ Oklahoma bombing and media silence) Investor's Business Daily ^ \| 10/7/2005 Terrorism: Three years ago, we speculated that a deadly shooting at LAX was a terrorist act. But political and cultural sensitivity caused authorities and the media to play down the terror angle. Is this happening again? [snip] But we flashed back to July 4, 2002, when an Egyptian man shot and killed two people and wounded three at an Israeli airline ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport. It took a while before authorities could bring themselves to call it a terrorist act. So far, the big media have laid off Hinrichs' death.

But then yesterday the U.S. Department of Justice asked a federal court in Oklahoma City to seal the search warrant officials there used to get into the apartment Hinrichs’ shared with three or four students described by neighbors as “Arab-looking men.” If Hinrichs acted alone and had no links to terrorists’ organizations or activities, why seal the search warrant? What did investigators find in Hinrichs’apartment that they don’t want the public to know? [snip] The most disturbing hole, though, is the letter intercepted by U.S. intelligence last May from Iraq terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to Osama bin Laden describing a “Great Ramadan Offensive.” The offensive was described as a series of spectacular attacks in the U.S. and elsewhere during Ramadan, which is in October. Was the OU stadium bombing intended as the first of those attacks? (Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...
