Tapes Offer Few Clues, Stories Differ

More conflicting information out of Oklahoma. The Oklahoman reports that FBI investigators have finished a review of security tapes around Memorial Stadium and they do not show Joel Hinrichs trying to gain entrance during the Kansas State-Oklahoma game. At the same time, WorldNetDaily reported that the warrant used to search Hinrichs' apartment has been sealed by a federal court at the request of the Justice Department. So if there is nothing to fear, what gives? The Oklahoman story contains an interview with a bus driver who had just walked past Hinrichs when the blast occurred that killed the student. No other individuals have been linked to the blast, but officials continue to investigate possible ties to Islamic groups after learning Hinrichs' roommate is from Pakistan. The Muslim community is fearing association with Hinrichs and is reaching out to the community. But when the Sooners return to Memorial Stadium on Oct. 22 to play Baylor, expect security measures to be tightened. The Counterterrorism blog also has picked up the story, as has The Jawa Report.
