The blast happened late in the second quarter of the Sooners' game against Kansas State University.<br><br>--Officials say the bomb detonated 100 yards west of the stadium near the George Lynn Cross Hall, Botany-Microbiology Building. Explosive experts brought in bomb dogs and located a second device, which was later safely detonated.--<br><br>Some 84,000 fans were not allowed to leave the game until late in the 4th quarter, after another sweep of the building. The bomb squad also swept the stadium before the game began and found no explosives inside. No one inside the stadium was injured.<br><br>Despite the circumstances, the fans remained calm. "It sounded like two explosions very close together," stated one person who heard the blast. "The seats rattled a little bit. We didn't know anything until the game was over."<br><br>-snip <p></p><i></i>

<br> Boren is George Tenent's old boss and mentor, the former Senate Intelligence(sic) Committee Chairman and the guy whut persuaded GeorgieBoy to keep Tenent on the job after <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>selection 2000â„¢</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. This incident took place outside a stadium with 84,000 people. Call me a cynic but I think there was a minor problem with a timing device here.<br><br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Amen to that...

...about the timer problem.<br><br>How on earth could they KNOW immediately it was an individualized suicide? How many people who just want to kill themselves strap on explosives and mosey on over to the local football game? And the second explosion was to make sure there wasn't a...second explosion?<br><br>Right.<br><br>Makes as much sense as dedicated Wahhabis celebrating their last night on earth at a titty bar. <p></p><i></i>

Dr. Stan Monteith did a pretty interesting interview with Steve Quayle about this. I'll try to find it. <p></p><i></i>

Pure speculation here

good point. what I find suprising is how many of these assassinations aren't carried out with more 'professionalism' but that doesn't seem to matter so much since the local police and investigators always seem to cooperate (i.e. two shot gun blasts to the head, ruled as suicide).<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.stevequayle.com/index1.html">www.stevequayle.com/index1.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

<br> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"but I wonder if the guy was heading for the game or for the George Lynn Cross Hall, Botany-Microbiology Building?"<br></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><br> Why not one for each? There were TWO explosions. Anybody checking the sunspot situation recently? or perhaps the premature signal came from elsewhere...<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

i wasn't really suggesting that he was assassinated, though he might have been, i don't know. just wondering if he might have been out to blow up something in the labs.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Given the speed of how quickly they came up with a cover story, I think we're looking at a government op. <p></p><i></i>
